Senior Full Stack Engineer

Burendo is a Leeds head quartered delivery and transformation consultancy, specialising in supporting both large and SME organisations to improve their Agile adoption and delivery processes. Making transformation and delivery possible by inspiring people and organisations is our mission. Our clients span multiple industries and countries, and our consultants and coaches use a blend of tools and techniques, obtained through practical experience, to help teams and improve the capabilities and outcomes of our clients.

Great engineers come from many different backgrounds and are specialists in many different areas. At Burendo, we look for people who want to contribute to all areas of the tech stack and get involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle. We are not looking for lots of specific technologies because we believe you can learn these. Instead, we care about your attitude, your desire to learn and your ability to work by yourself and with others.

Requirements

These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.

• A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
• A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain
• An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary “gold-plating”
• An understanding that quality is everyone’s responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
• Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
• A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
• A DevOps mentality – meaning that you don’t want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
• A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero

We believe every engineer should have a fundamental understanding of development, infrastructure, and testing and therefore you’ll need at least some of these skills to help you pick the role up quickly. Burendo is invested in the growth of our consultants and provide a healthy self-development budget you can use to grow in the areas mentioned below, or any other of your choosing!

The must haves:

• Fundamental coding experience in more than one widely used language type i.e. Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript etc

Plus at least one of these:

• Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure.
• Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology.

And it would be great if you have any of this:

• A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
• Experience working in supporting a live product
• Experience adapting to different tech stacks
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
• Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
• Experience with database technologies of some flavour

These are the little bit extra, cherry-on-top skills that will help you stand out. Still give us a shout if you haven’t currently got these skills though!

• Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
• Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
• Experience working in the public sector and healthcare industry
• Experience working in a technology or consulting company
• Involvement in community building via blogs, online sites, meetups, or other means
