You will be able to operate in a hybrid way ideally with 1-2 days in the office in Norwich per week. Though we are flexible with this and of course understand everyone has different needs and preferences that can be worked with to align the team to the goals of the business.
Responsibilities Work with the team to produce highly performant, secure, scalable and maintainable code to deliver real value for our stakeholders. Participate in daily stand-ups and weekly sprint reviews to help the team improve our processes, overall code quality and ensure we are aligning ourselves with the current industry best practices and methods.
