Role Requirements

Digital transformation is about connecting systems, automating processes, and making technology work smarter for people whilst understanding user needs and behaviour. We focus on building solutions that bridge the gap between what clients need and their processes, teams and systems.

We need a junior software engineer who can work within existing technical architectures to configure low-code platforms, and solve problems with creative technical solutions that don’t require rebuilding everything from scratch.

Your role will be to help us deliver technical solutions that make our clients\' digital transformation initiatives actually work. You\'ll be working within constraints, existing systems, and the beautiful mess of enterprise technology. Your tasks will include :

• Configuring and customizing low-code / no-code platforms to solve specific business problems, automate processes and bridge system gaps
• Working with databases to extract, transform, and load data where needed
• Debugging and troubleshooting when things inevitably break
• Testing solutions to ensure they work reliably in real-world conditions
• Working closely with project teams to turn requirements into practical, user-focused solutions that are not only functional but genuinely adopted
• Documenting your work so others can understand and maintain what you\'ve built

In general, you\'ll help us prove that good technology doesn\'t have to be complicated – it just has to solve the right problems in the right way.

We\'re looking for someone who enjoys solving puzzles within constraints :
