The role
Software developers at Opencast care about building products right and combine their own experience and approach with our company values. They are tech agnostic, have expertise in agile methodologies, extreme programming practices and use industry-leading programming languages to deliver agile transformation.
Our approach to software development is collaborative, focused on keeping things simple, and we use test driven development and pair programming as best practice.
Working with clients and key stakeholders is a crucial part of a consultancy role. Our developers are inclusive team players that listen, collaborate, can positively challenge and manage expectations when needed but most of all are always willing to teach and help others. Leaving a client with improved ways of working, working technology and a good experience from discovery through to live is the priority.
The role is varied, technical, never confined to any one provider or solution and there are always opportunities for learning and development.
UK Security Clearance (existing SC clearance or eligibility) is a requirement for our current permanent opportunities.
Experience in delivering digital services for the UK government is highly valuable for many of our projects. Therefore, familiarity with the GDS toolkit will be essential.

· Deep understanding of programming paradigm, code design, testing, accessibility, performance and security
· Proven ability to apply different testing tools and methods in practice
· Knowledge or experience of delivering complex services to Government Digital Service (GDS) standards is required
· Being comfortable with new technology, t-shaped and comfortable with ongoing learning and development is key to success.
