Colt provides network, voice and data centre services to thousands of businesses around the world, allowing them to focus on delivering their business goals instead of the underlying infrastructure.

Why we need this role?

You will join a development team working in an Agile (Scrum or Kanban) model.  

The team is small and nimble, and as a result, it has built some amazing internal applications. The focus will be to ensure that our applications are extensible, maintainable, and efficient, whilst building cool new features. Sometimes this means we have to go and re-engineer some parts. 

We work in a business with many other systems, so interaction with our peers is key to ensuring any integrations are effective and robust. Sometimes, we also have to test the water with new capabilities. So, there will be opportunities to learn new things by contributing to spikes/proofs-of-concept to evaluate tools and approaches to ensure the platform's evolution makes the best use of new technologies and techniques. 

If you are passionate about the craft, want to build new and impactful applications and be part of a fast-moving team then this is the role for you. 

Software Engineer is responsible to design, develop, and maintain software systems and applications that enable and support Colt’s business needs, whilst ensuring the solutions integrate with the existing company’s infrastructure.

What you will do: Decomposing high level requirements into a set of development tasks. Estimating size of development tasks Development of back-end APIs and front-end application (development/unit tests/documentation).
