Are you a Software Engineer that wants to actually see real-world impact from what you help to create? Our mission is simple! We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. At Made Tech, we're collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage all people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.

The Role
As a Software Engineer you will actively contribute to planning of work and the development of features, helping to define the features and approach to delivering them. You will proactively pick up complex features, seeking guidance and support when needed to complete them, and be comfortable architecting and delivering simple features in new contexts.
You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of technologies and will need to be comfortable doing so. Our teams have used Java, Ruby, Python, ES6 with React, as well as C# with .NET Core, and plenty more stacks. We don't limit ourselves as a company to particular technologies and we expect all our engineers to be keen on learning new skills.
High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. We grow a team of language agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, declarative, event-based and aspect-oriented. You will need to be comfortable sharing your knowledge and skills with others, and be willing to learn new technologies and skills.
