They will enjoy working in a fast paced, high-growth environment, where the ability to manage multiple tasks to defined objectives is key.

This position reports to the Technical Team Lead and will require close co-operation with the product development teams. In addition, working with different cultures and across multiple time zones will be a necessity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Customisation and implementation of mobile content applications to run on the Enpocket Platform
  • Campaign scripting, UI development and 3rd party integration of mobile messaging CRM applications
  • Install and integrate the Enpocket Platform into client's and supplier's systems

  • BSc in Computing or related subject with ~1 years relevant commercial experience

Microcom (South East, UK)

Posted 7-Feb-2007

We are currently seeking a 3x Software Engineer from graduates to senior developers to work in a team of highly able programmers, using technologies such as Python and Linux, and modern Agile development processes encompassing pair programming, unit tests, and working with stories.

To qualify we expect all members of the software team to have the following:-

  • A keen analytical mind, with a sound ability to judge when to focus on the details and when to think laterally.
  • Good interpersonal skills. This means being able to work continuously with other developers and talk sensibly with non-technical staff.
  • A strong desire to do things right, and not just to get it done.
  • Obviously this needs to be tempered by the need to accept the compromises such as time-constraints that exist within a business.

Exposure to Linux/UNIX and other OS's, since people who've only worked in one environment tend to have fixed, unrealistic ideas.

Exposure to object oriented programming in more than one language. So long as there is some breadth, previous experience of Python is almost irrelevant (although a desire to program in Python is essential).

Ideally, graduates must be able to demonstrate a personal interest in Open Source technologies.
