Graduate Software Engineer Glasgow, Scotland
Job description
What You Will Be Doing
As a Graduate Software Engineer, what you lack in tried and tested experience you more than make up for with energy, passion and new ideas (as well as some relevant coding education, self taught or further education, it’s what you can do that counts). That’s exactly what we are looking for. Expect learning at hyperspeed and working with incredible technologies on challenging problems. You’ll be working with some exceptional, proven software engineers who are supportive and friendly, each of which have been where you are now, so if you like the sound of what we are doing and don’t mind getting stuck into difficult tasks on day one then continue reading.
You will be helping build, maintain and scale our VOR product. This position requires you to be eager to try, test, develop and fail comfortably and often. As part of working at a scale-up as a graduate, you will be supervised and supported throughout the journey, but at pace. The learning and exposure to cutting edge technologies and challenges will enable you to gain experience rapidly with designing, building and refactoring robust and scalable code. We are primarily Microsoft .NET Core, React, Python and JavaScript engineers and are unafraid of hard technical challenges.
Furthermore, your lack of experience will lend itself well towards learning about effective team communication and contribution towards solving difficult problems at scale. Whilst you won’t be expected to contribute in architectural design discussions and task planning sessions, you may be expected to join in and learn from and work with our growing product management team. A graduate's role is to learn quickly by doing, and we have plenty of doing to be done.
In short, we are looking for graduate software engineers who, regardless of their past achievements, share our curiosity for learning and ambition to keep improving. We offer a clear opportunity to test your skills by delivering incredible software at scale that delivers impactful results for our customers.
We do not expect anyone to meet every expectation below, so please use the following as a guide only, if you learn fast and have a strong foundational skill set and experience, we’d like to hear from you.
What you can offer Streamba:
- An excellent, analytical, critical thinking mind with a passion for learning modern development methodologies and technology
- An open mind to understanding new technologies, frameworks and the smarts to learn how to apply them to the energy industry
- Kaizen – proactive continuous learning and improvement
- Positivity and a friendly, approachable manner – you can communicate your ideas soundly and help others put across theirs
- Experience trying new technologies
- The ability to learn new things quickly
- A genuine passion for your new chosen career and the confidence to apply your energy and ideas to our challenges
- Genuine autonomy, trust and a chance to make a measurable difference within a small growing company
- A significant, but highly rewarding challenge. There’s no time for boredom here and every day we’re learning new skills
- The opportunity to work with smart, focused engineers and the investment in your skillset to ensure each of us pushes one another towards excellence and away from the slippery slope of comfort and mediocrity
- Time to build an enviable arsenal of technologies, frameworks and skills in product and project environments.
- An opportunity that doesn’t come along too often – to be part of an early, growing technology company whilst it’s still small – we like to think of ourselves as Glasgow’s ‘SkyScanner’ and you’re part of that progress to ensure that happens.
- Competitive salary + benefits
- An opportunity to join a proven scale up at an exciting stage
As a minimum:
- A passion for learning coupled with an insatiable curiosity
- A Computer Science/Engineering/Maths/Physics degree or similar at 2:1 or an interesting background (self-taught, career changing courses etc.)
