Backend Software Developer - Glasgow, United Kingdom - Nucleus Financial
Description
About the Role
We're looking for a back-end software developer to join our growing technology team. We'd love to hear from developers with the desire and ability to work across a broad range of disciplines within product delivery, with a primary focus on backend-end software development. Working collaboratively alongside other developers and analysts using agile software development methodologies you'll get involved with:
A bit about you
Your friends would probably describe you as the 'curious' one. You'll be happiest when tinkering with new technologies and finding better ways to deliver phenomenal code. You will enjoy working as part of a multi-functional team, while taking ownership of the work you do to deliver the best solutions.
Smaller teams, constantly learning, being challenged, having your own chunk of responsibility and being trusted to make it happen describe in a nutshell the environment you really thrive in. You want to be part of a collaborative culture where you feel empowered but always know you'll never be left alone.
We've always placed more importance on cultural alignment above technical ability but in this role we'd ideally like you to have either experience with or an interest in:
A little about us
Our purpose at Nucleus is to help make retirement more rewarding, with a vision to build the best retirement-focused platform in the UK. It is this purpose that drives everything we do. Whether you are working in a role that is customer-facing or not, you'll need to be service-obsessed to work here.
It's an exciting environment, and one where we believe you will get the chance to fulfil your potential and do work that really matters, to you and our customers.
We aim to stay on top of latest developments and use up-to-date technologies. (We are currently on Java 17). You will have learning time for personal development, take part in knowledge shares and have a yearly budget for conference visits or other training courses.
Nucleus' culture is something our people believe sets us apart from other places they've worked.
Inclusion and diversity at Nucleus
We really care about inclusion, for us this is not a box-ticking thing, it's a commercial imperative. It isn't about being PC, It's about being future-relevant and durable. Find out more on our .
We offer a generous blend of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including pension, bonus, enhanced parental leave, paid time off for emergencies, health and wellbeing initiatives and flexible working options. We can also support remote working or a hybrid office/home approach and try to be flexible with a focus on getting the work done, rather than where it's getting done.
