The role
Are you looking for an industrial placement starting August 2024 that uses your scientific knowledge but isn't based in a lab? An opportunity to develop IT skills, alongside a small intake of highly motivated students and to be a valued member of the team? Look no further... IDBS offers student placement positions for software developers within the Engineering department, which are typically one-year placements starting each summer.
The objective of the placement is to gain industrial experience in the use of agile software development practices, additionally gaining proficiency as a developer.
Our product suite is web-based and delivered to our customers via the cloud as an integrated suite of SaaS applications. As a software developer you will gain hands-on experience in the development, maintenance and delivery of high quality professional software using many technologies and techniques that support and promote our cloud-first development & delivery approach.
Here is what the role looks like
You will join one of our agile teams and will quickly be working on code delivered into our production systems. You will be buddied by a senior software engineer with support, mentoring and on-the-job training given as required.
Some of the languages and technologies that you could be exposed to include: java & javascript (front-end and backend); AWS, docker & Kubernetes; HTML/CSS, React & REST; Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake; maven, Jenkins (pipelines), terraform. The exact tech will depend upon the agile team that you join.
Learn from the best (and maybe teach us something along the way!), come and join our team as a student placement software developer.
