Description
This is a chance to join a strong team moving an existing product to the browser and adopting what new technologies make sense along the way. We are also experimenting with remote working and would welcome applications from developers located anywhere in the UK.
Covalent Software is currently transitioning between the development of its thick client hosted product and a new browser-based version. Work will be on the browser product, the thick client being phased out as we migrate functionality across. We are looking to hire a motivated developer to join the team and hit the ground running.
We are experimenting with remote working and would welcome applications from developers located anywhere in the UK. Ideally remote workers would be willing to visit the office occasionally (quarterly or less) to get a chance to meet others face to face and take part in company celebrations.
Our original product is developed in Java with a Swing UI and communicates with the server over HTTP. The Web version is powered by the Play Framework, uses Twitter Bootstrap for base CSS alongside JQuery, Knockout and other JavaScript libraries on the front-end. The database is SQL Server 2012.
Strong core Java SE 6+ experience is a must as is some experience with JavaScript/HTML/CSS/SQL even if only on personal projects.
You will be joining one of two Scrum teams consisting around 6 members split between developers and testers. We work in fortnightly sprints and are currently deploying to production at the end of each sprint.
We have continuous integration builds that run our unit, functional and Selenium tests. We maintain code coverage with Cobertura and use FindBugs to uncover potential issues.
