Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: a logistics software company in Worcester. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a logistics software company in Worcester. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge
  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments

Must-haves

  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Helpful, not essential

  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Docker and Kubernetes experience

On offer

  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Laptop and data allowance
  • Paid certification exams and learning budget
  • Medical aid and retirement fund

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio, degree or diploma certificate plus list of projects with the tech stack you used on each.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
  • Expect a take-home or live coding test, so practise with a timer in the language you listed.
