We are a small but growing software development firm, based in London’s West End that produces enterprise-wide software for the asset management industry.  Operating in an Agile manner, we use Kanban practice, test-driven development and continuous integration to manage our development and release processes.  We are now looking to hire an experienced developer to join our team.

• Translating user requirements into development items, seeking clarification where required.

• Assuming a senior role within an existing team of developers.
