Developer – Heywood, Altrincham, England, United Kingdom

Heywood is building the future of pension technology; we need Java developers to help us lead the way.

• Strong Java developer able to deliver quality code as part of a team
• Keen to work in an Agile environment
• Eager to participate with Senior and Principal Developers
• Comfortable working in an existing codebase, but know when to ask for help from your team

As a member of one of our Scrum teams you will build and deploy new products and features that meet the needs of our expanding customer base. Heywood is the right size to make an impact and be recognised for your contributions. You’ll work on meaningful projects and see the impact of your work in a dynamic, encouraging environment.

We are located in Altrincham, in a workspace that promotes collaboration and facilitates hybrid working with great tech, AV equipment, and flexible spaces.

You will be a strong Java developer, but we’re looking for problem solvers who share ideas and improve how we work. As a proactive and inquisitive developer, you’ll be passionate about collaborating with and contributing to the professional growth of your team. You’ll also be comfortable working with UX designers, product experts, test analysts and customers.

You’ll work on a modern JDK (Amazon Corretto 17) with pair programming, automated testing, continuous integration, and backed by Dev Ops technologies such as Chef, Vagrant, Kubernetes, Terraform, Packer and Docker (though we don’t expect you to know all these). Our culture encourages continuous improvement, so you’ll have opportunities to investigate new tech, frameworks and processes.

Your application will be reviewed by our Principal Developers. If selected, you’ll be invited to an interview where you will:

• Work on a Java coding task with one of our Developers
• Have a chat with two of our Principal Developers to learn more about you and for you to learn about us

We aim to complete the entire process, from application to job offer, within two weeks.

This range is provided by Heywood. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.

As an equal opportunities’ employer, Heywood is committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees and does not condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.
