About You
Did you know that a pension is often the most valuable financial asset people will have in their lifetime?
At Heywood Pension Technologies (HPT) we build software that looks after the pensions of millions of UK citizens and helps them secure their financial futures. We're a growing company and looking for Senior Java Developers to help us build the next iterations of our market-leading pensions software.
The Role
As a key member of one of our Scrum teams you will define, build, and deploy new products and features that meet the needs of our expanding customer base. Heywood Pension Technologies is a company that’s just right for the next stage in your career. Why? As a long-established and successful business, we can provide stability, support, and growth opportunities, all while being the right size for you to make a significant impact and be recognized and valued for your contributions. You’ll have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects and see the impact of your work in a dynamic and encouraging environment. We’re based in Altrincham, Manchester, and will shortly be moving to a newly renovated office in Altrincham town centre. We’re building a space that has been designed specifically for our modern hybrid working model with great tech, AV equipment, and flexible collaborative working spaces.
We're not looking for Developers who are just great coders. We’re looking for problem solvers who are keen to share their ideas, challenge our approach and continuously improve the way we work. As a proactive and inquisitive Developer, you'll be passionate about collaborating with and contributing to the professional growth of your team. You'll also be comfortable working with other specialists such as UX Designers, product experts, Test Analysts and, of course, our customers.
From day one, you'll be an active member of your Scrum team and commit code within your first week. We'll provide you with the tools you need to be effective, including a high spec laptop, dual monitors, and licenses for software such as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and PluralSight (an e-learning platform). You'll be working on a modern JDK and with a variety of approaches such as pair programming, automated testing, and continuous integration - all backed by DevOps technologies such as Chef, Vagrant, Kubernetes, Terraform, Packer and Docker. Our culture encourages continuous improvement, so we’ll be looking to you to investigate new tech, frameworks, and processes, to help drive us forward.
Our Assessment Process
Your application will be reviewed by a group of our Principal Developers and, if we like what we see, we'll invite you to meet with us. All we ask for is a couple of hours of your time and we'll make a decision.
The assessment is straightforward - you'll start off working with one of our developers on a Java coding task - we're not trying to catch you out; we just want to see what it would be like working with you. We'll then give you a chance to refresh yourself with a coffee before chatting to two of our Principal Developers - this is a chance for us to find out about you, and for you to find out about us. Hopefully we both agree we're a perfect match and we'll aim to get back to you within 24 hours. You can expect the entire process, from clicking apply to receiving your job offer, to take less than two weeks. Apply now and let's build something amazing together!
