Software Developer Apprentice
Role
You will mainly be working on internal projects, with external customer enhancements required from time to time. You will support with the development and testing process, and will be required to use appropriate authentication mechanisms, such as using prepared SQL, ZAP for testing of web applications and SonarLint for checking code. You will learn to identify and report any impediments to software development activities, and become able to propose practical solutions to these. You will consider the security implications of proposed designs, to ensure that these are built in from inception and throughout the development process. You will apply appropriate recovery techniques as required, and in line with business processes, to ensure that the software solutions being developed are not lost. You'll be required to compile documentation on the tailored, working solutions being devised, for use by others. You will encounter software development issues, but will be given support by the mentor to overcome these, and demonstrations will be given to help you to understand the business' various new products and features, and you will support with resolving customer issues as necessary. Over time, you will be able to estimate your own ability and timeframes for delivering work products.
