Overview

X:drive Computing Limited are based in the heart of Canterbury City Centre, in newly built premises since November 2015. Our location enables us to access the high-speed rail link to Europe and London, as well as a vast array of shopping and great restaurants within the city walls.

Over the past 10 years we have built two online HR-based products, which are now consumed in over 65 countries and have a large expanding user base in industries from Television and Broadcasting, Healthcare, Retail and lots more.

We are seeking a Junior Developer to join our expanding development team. Ideally you will have had exposure to Mobile or Web development and are interested in pursuing a career in Mobile Development leading to Web Development over time.

Once you have familiarised yourself with your new working environment, getting used to our development cycles and established your own tea/coffee mug (these are supplied!), we would expect you to learn the products that you will be supporting/developing, this is something all employees must do as we work as a team to support our products.

You will work on building your mobile development profile with a view to leading the iPhone/iPad/Android applications in the future. Over time we expect you to be involved in other aspects of the development teams remit including server maintenance & support, web development, and development plans.

At X:drive, we do not believe, nor want anyone to rush trying to get work done, we believe in doing things the right way. Because of this culture, we do not expect you to know our products, nor support them when you first walk through the door. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate skills, but mostly their desire to work within our established team and willingness to continually develop both professionally and personally.

Must haves

- Good foundation knowledge of development, either with iOS/Android or web, but with a keen interest in mobile development
- Exceptional communication skills, by phone, email and face-to-face.
- Comfortable with a PC/Windows based environment, including Word, Excel and Outlook.

- Be familiar with the iOS SDK or Android Development IDE
- Knowledge of RESTful APIs / SOAP

Benefits

Our office environment is unique to us, we dress smart but casual, have a family friendly atmosphere and enjoy the benefits of a pool table/xbox/hot drinks/cold drinks which allow us to relax, but, we are also a very hard working team.
