Software Developer Level 4 Apprentice

You will gain exposure to the technologies we use, especially around Microsoft’s cloud stack (Azure, Office 365). Once completed you will join the development team and contribute to successful projects. Duties will include coding in a manner consistent with published coding standards, as part of a team to ensure all objectives are delivered.

Role

Duties:
You will be responsible for: 

  • Working closely with other members of the team by understanding your own contribution to the team’s goals, taking ownership of any potential problems to ensure they are resolved
  • Designing technically and documenting aspects of the software project, including but not limited to database, business rules and presentation. Documentation must be produced to a high level of accuracy, be unambiguous, and kept up to date
  • Identifying and highlighting where productivity gains can be achieved either through new techniques or adoption of programming tools. If appropriate design, develop and implement programming tools for internal use
  • Helping the project managers identify and classify programming defects and then develop a solution for these defects that satisfies the specification
  • Deploying updates onto target infrastructure, performing any necessary system tests and ensuring accuracy of deployment, either remotely or on a customer’s site
