Looking to make a big impact in a small team? Looking for flexibility in a role to work hours around a family or hobby (or just to let you be that morning person and stay in bed an extra hour!)? We want to hear from you and understand what you could bring to our collaborative but fast paced small company. Powdr's software is the brain child of our amazing co-founder and CTO Steve and is managed and developed by his small but fantastic team which we are looking for someone to join.

We are on the hunt for someone who loves solving bugs but also wants to develop new features.

For the right person it's a great development opportunity and will give a breadth of opportunities across a variety of different parts of the software you'll never be bored. We can promise you a dynamic, fast paced role, responsibility from the get go, and the ability to influence and shape your work to achieve the best output for our business and clients. Come and be part of our growth story! Because we are on such a growth curve at this stage we ideally are looking for someone with strong React and Java skills.

Working hours are also flexible; as long as you deliver quality work, when you do this is within your control! If you need flexibility to support childcare we can look at this too - whether it's getting that 6 week dreaded school holiday period off every year and this being part of your contract we can work with you so your work life and home life work well together.
