Job description

We care about hiring great people who want to make meaningful contributions.

It’s important to us that we support and help each other, pushing colleagues to work hard and improve. We value everyone’s unique input and skills: developers, testers, product owners, project managers and designers all collaborate as equals on every project. That collaboration and teamwork is what helps us deliver innovative, exciting products for our clients.

To ensure everyone gets the help and encouragement they need, we’ve developed a structured progression framework to support development plans and career growth for each person within Engineering. You'll get close support from your line manager with your day-to-day work, and you’ll have the support and resources you need to evaluate your career growth and professional development.

Our tech

We develop web and mobile applications with scalable backend services in a variety of different languages and frameworks, with AWS as our primary cloud platform. Our CI/CD infrastructure varies with what makes sense - we have to balance customer requirements with making sure we have the right languages, frameworks and tools for the job and you will be an integral part of influencing these choices of technology.

The role

• Developing backend services and APIs, including interaction with databases with a focus on readable, maintainable and well-tested code
• Integrating with third-party APIs, such as payment gateways
• Creating associated API documentation and working in partnership with developers consuming your APIs and services
• Working as part of a cross-functional scrum team and contributing your expertise to drive the overall success of a project
• Being an advocate for engineering best practice within your project team
• Understanding users and identifying who they are and what their needs are
• Using agreed standards and specifications to design, create, test and document new or amended software
• Demonstrating understanding of common software engineering concepts
• Creating robust code which is scalable with a long term impact and broader concerns underpinning decisions

We’d love to talk if you have:

• Strong knowledge of API development using C# .NET/.NET Core, including ORM and dependency injection experience
• Experience of working with other languages and associated frameworks / libraries such as:

• JavaScript and Node.JS/Express
• Java and Spring/SpringBoot
• TypeScript, Scala, Kotlin or Python
• Django or Play

• Enthusiastic and experienced when it comes to using engineering best practices, clean code and unit testing
• Experience working as part of a cross-functional development team (using Agile practices)
• Cloud experience using AWS

What we’ll offer you:

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

Our hiring process

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

It usually looks like this:

• Call with our Talent Acquisition Team
• Role specific capability interview

Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.

Inclusion at CreateFuture

We believe diverse teams build better workplaces and better products. We want CreateFuture to be a place where people feel able to be themselves and do their best work.

If you need any adjustments or support during the application process, just. We will do what we can to help.

We look forward to your application!
