Our technologies include multiple COBOL language compilers, platform optimisations, debugging, runtime APIs (Application Program Interface) and IDE (Integrated Development Environment) integrations with Eclipse, Visual Studio 2022, and VS (Visual Studio) Code. Our teams also work on our mainframe emulation environments, powering millions of business-critical functions for our customers on their platforms of choice, both physical and virtual, using Windows, Unix, Container and Cloud. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to code in various languages including COBOL, C, C++, C#, Java and more.
What Can Micro Focus Offer You?
Our development teams have a wealth of experience to share, and you'll find a friendly, relaxed, goal-orientated atmosphere with great team spirit: supporting and learning from each other is a huge part of our culture.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of technologies and platforms, offering a fantastic chance for personal growth and development in a supportive environment.
