Agile Evangelist Java Developer recruitment

An Agile Evangelist, Java developer is required by a start-up team, working on a Greenfield project in London. The team are building a bespoke pricing application from scratch in Java and they need an agile specialist who is also an exceptional Java developer to come and coach the team until they are completely agile.

Currently the team is made up of excellent Java developers who have worked in agile environments but who do not know the likes of Scrum, TDD, XP and Continuous Integration inside out. Your job as the agile specialist will be to guide the team in these practices along with contributing as a hands-on Java developer.

This is a small team with a lively dynamic so the Java developer/agile guru must be an effective communicator who can proactively convert a team of strong Java technologists to a well oiled agile machine. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Java developer and agile guru to play a key role in a dynamic team on a high-profile, Greenfield project.

The successful Agile specialist must have proven experience of building agile Java teams that use Scrum, TDD and XP. You must be 100% passionate and convincing that the only way to build Java IT systems is according to agile methodologies. Similarly, you must have the gravitas and effective people skills to convince others that agile is the only way forward. Along with this you must be an excellent developer in Java and be able to juggle a coaching role with hands on Java development.
