At CJBS, you will be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to innovation in digital learning. We offer a collaborative and supportive work environment where your contributions will make a significant impact.

The role:

  • Design and develop fluid, elegant user interfaces that are scalable, reliable, and compatible across all devices and operating systems.
  • Leverage your expertise in cross-platform development to deliver a seamless experience on mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
  • Collaborate with the team to create a robust digital platform that enhances teaching and learning experiences.
  • Engage in dynamic, project-based activities and work closely with other IT functions to plan, manage, and prioritise development tasks.
  • Attend project meetings regularly, provide accurate planning estimates, and report on progress.
  • Work closely with existing IT teams, the Director of Digital Learning, and the Director of IT for guidance and support.

The ideal candidate:

The ideal candidate will possess full-stack expertise, including C#, .NET, MVC and microservices architecture with advanced skills in modern front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, Bootstrap, or Tailwind CSS. You should have a proven track record of integrating cloud services (particularly Azure) and enterprise platforms like Dynamics 365.

Key requirements include:

  • Experience with DevOps practices, particularly version control systems such as Azure DevOps and Git, and the implementation and management of CI/CD pipelines.
  • Expertise in programming languages relevant to web and cloud based applications, with strong problem solving and debugging abilities.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to quality assurance.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well documented code.
  • A degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Willingness to occasionally work outside standard hours as required by project needs.

Desirable skills:

  • Experience developing for cross platform environments such as .NET MAUI, Flutter, QT, Uno Platform, or similar technologies.
  • Familiarity with cloud authentication methods (including SAML, OpenID, and OAuth).
  • Knowledge of RESTful APIs and data integration techniques.
  • Professional certifications in software development or cloud technologies (e.g., Microsoft Azure) are highly valued.

We anticipate that interviews will be held on w/c 04 August 2025 consisting of both a panel interview and a practical assessment. This role is initially offered on a two-year fixed-term basis.
