Graduate Software Developer

Graduate Developer - Bracknell, Berkshire. Start summer/early autumn 2023

Do you want real skills and career progress, with rewards to match?
Are you interested in solving hard technical challenges but with a commercial focus and customer interaction?
If the answer to these questions is YES, then we would like to hear from you.

OnTheMove is a software product, built using the latest technology, that allows organisations to deploy enterprise applications to mobile devices with a genuine mobile first UI. Our customers have been extremely successful with the product and we believe it has a great future in an expanding range of sub-markets.

Because our products are, in essence, a toolkit from which our customers create a final configuration to deploy to users, we need the very best developers who have the intellectual rigour to think through all the ways what they are coding might be used and have the determination to build solutions that will be robust in all circumstances.

After a short initial training period, you will be working on core product code to address real customer requirements. The work typically involves:

• building high quality solutions, often with minimal supervision
• developing test cases
• supporting our customers and internal consultants in their use of the product – typically identifying the root cause of reported problems
• working on customer implementation projects, configuring OnTheMove to the needs of particular organisations, and the configuration / support of vertical application products built in our core technology

For the right person, there will be the opportunity to rapidly advance into areas such as design, team leadership and more customer interaction.

We welcome applications from candidates who have the right to work in the UK including as Citizens, those with Settled or Pre-Settled status, and those with Student / Graduate visas. We are also able to sponsor eligible candidates under the points based system.

Prior Experience
We are interested in people with 0 to 2 years high quality post graduation experience – although no amount of experience will act as a substitute for the critically important academic and aptitude requirements.

The Rewards
We aim to recruit the very best graduates and the salary packages that we offer reflect this.

When You Join

If you join as a new or recent graduate, we start you on a basic salary of £38,500 + £1,500 car allowance. In addition, we pay a relocation allowance of up to £1,000 to people moving into the area. We review pay after 6 months and recognise / reward people who are progessing well.

The Requirements

In order to apply, you need:

• a 2:1 or better in a numerate discipline from a reputable institution (or equivalent if you studied outside of the UK). If you have not yet graduated, you need a reasonable expectation of a suitable degree. We recruit from a wide range of backgrounds. You do not need to have a Computer Science degree – we are just as interested to hear from candidates with other numerate degrees such as Maths, Physics and Engineering.
• 3 A levels at grade A or B in serious subjects (or equivalent if you studied outside of the UK)
• excellent and well-proven programming skills in a 3GL. These don’t need to be in a particular language although but we have special interest in any of the following:
• HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript including frameworks such as React and Knockout
• Object Oriented languages in general, especially with experience of designing class models involving a high degree of abstraction
• C# / Java
• enthusiasm, determination and a sense of “mission”
• relevant commercial experience, e.g. an industrial placement, is a distinct advantage

Office Working

We work 100% of the time in our Bracknell office as we believe that it is the best way to foster effective team work and increase the skills of the less experienced members of our team. Therefore, it is critically important that all applicants are committed to the idea of being in the office on all working days.
