Description

Software Engineer - Graduate (PHP, MySQL, AWS, Linux, LAMP)
Hotfoot are looking to hire a Graduate Software Engineer to deliver project work for our client, a major online business based in London. As a Software Engineer with educational (and perhaps practical) skills in PHP, MySQL, AWS, Linux, you will play an important role in developing applications for web, mobile and tablets as well as the Cloud infrastructure software on Amazon Web Services for this client. We're looking for someone passionate about technology and really motivated by creating the next cool thing.

This is not a basic graduate scheme; instead it's very much a role with focus on real world technology, real products and delivery to market.

After an initial induction period you'll be assigned a mentor and included as part of a development project. Projects vary but are all team based and focus around internet and media related technologies. A typical project duration is 3-6 months and is an in-house end to end delivery (from visual design, through infrastructure, databases, APIs, front end and project management)

You'll be using the very latest software development frameworks and tools whilst working in a cloud based environment in order to produce high quality, high availability solutions. You will learn to work using an Agile Scrum process and use techniques such as Test Driven Development, Version Control and Continuous Integration.

Technologies typically used in the team:
-Symfony 2
-Drupal 7
-Cloud Based Infrastructure - Amazon Web Services (EC2, S3, ELB, CloudFormation, CloudFront, Route 53)
-Linux (Ubuntu, Redhat)
-Apache
-HAProxy
-Nginx
-PHP
-MongoDB
-MySQL/Percona
-HTML4/5 + Javascript + CSS2/3
-Git (github)

The company also supply you with a brand new development laptop (choice between a Lenovo or Macbook Pro) and a 27" monitor.

The Candidate:
The client are looking for smart and curious (excited to learn) individuals to learn how to implement new technologies and deliver solutions to problems. The ideal candidate will be comfortable talking and presenting within a cross skilled team and enjoys socialising and having fun.

Familiarity with linux and internet technologies would be a great bonus, but being able to demonstrate an aptitude towards learning, problem solving and delivering software solutions is the most important thing to us.

The client:
This role is a 1 year fixed term contract with a view to making the position permanent at the end of the contract. Last year 100% of the client graduate intake took permanent roles. There is opportunity to progress through the ranks for those that demonstrate the skill and aptitude for this role. Success is always fairly rewarded.

Any candidates, who feel they match the requirements above, please apply.
