TransFICC - Junior Software Engineer

• You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to: • Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java • Refactor to improve code design • Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by thousands of tests) • Automate the boring bits • Features of the way we work: • We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach • We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable • We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible • We practice TDD, BDD and DDD • We automate as much as possible • We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on.  We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers • Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code • See Dave Farley walk through how our CI pipeline works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKHdp4H-8w • Our needs: • We are growing the team and are keen to encourage diversity of domain experience and background. We’re open-minded about your path to becoming a developer: we don’t require any particular academic or specific work experience, but we do expect you to have written code in a commercial setting. Our junior positions are targeted at early-career developers who are keen to broaden and deepen their technical skills and understanding of sound development practices.
