Our Scala Developers work collaboratively in multidisciplinary agile scrum teams to develop, modify and maintain user interfaces for new digital services. Using agile methods, you will work closely with other members of the scrum team throughout the development cycle in order to design, build, test, maintain and support the new digital services.
Job type
Full time, permanent. We encourage those who may need a more agile approach to the structure of their working day to apply; we are always willing to discuss flexible options where we can. Location
You’ll be expected to travel to our customer’s site and potentially sites UK wide; working from client/office/home locations as appropriate. As a Scala Developer you will:
Build, deploy and operate outstanding digital services within an agile environment that meet well defined user needs Deliver application designs that meet web standards, ensuring that key elements are built in from the outset Collaborate with design specialists to translate designs into high quality websites, apps, html emails, and interactive experiences Contribute to the development and continual enhancement of products Partner with product managers, design specialists, business analysts and software developers to facilitate a consistent user experience Participate in the rapid development of user driven digital prototypes Work in cross functional teams to write and test production quality, sustainable code for world-class user interfaces for new and existing systems Ensure that new and updated digital services are thoroughly tested for accessibility and can be maintained and improved over the long term Provide mentorship and/or line management for more junior frontend developers where necessary Contribute to a culture of continual improvement in which key systems “owned” by your digital service team are regularly analysed, maintained and improved Contribute to a robust automated test suite to work in a continuous integration environment Become involved in the wider web development community (outside of Mercator), building relationships with other frontend developers and identifying best practices that we can adopt Share knowledge of tools and techniques with technical and non-technical team members in Mercator Knowledge/experience
