Description

We are a fast-growing software house.

Adagio is not in our vocabulary.

 

We aim to be the number one player in our sector.

Our clients have grande (sic) plans, and so do we.

 

We are building world-class products.

The globally-renowned Paris Opera Ballet is more formally known as Salle Le Peletier.

 

You are a first-class coder with an affinity for working with C# .NET

Coda is a classical ballet term that refers to the finale of a group of dancers.

 

You are highly inquisitive, with excellent communication skills and a collaborative attitude.

Attitude in classical ballet is a position where the dancer is standing on one leg with the other one lifted.

 

You like to think outside the box.

Studying ballet gives you a different point of view.

 

You have excellent database interrogation skills e.g. heavy-lifting SQL.

Have you ever queried what ballerinas eat for breakfast?

 

You are familiar with Agile/Scrum/Kanban principles.

Ballerinas are pretty agile.

 

Work to support our product team, providing tools that will deliver end-to-end solutions for customers.

While doing barre exercises, a dancer will stand and hold on to the barre for additional support.

 

Handle raw data. Comfortably. Using GraphQL.

Raw was released as a single by Spandau Ballet in 1988.

 

Champion and choreograph software delivery excellence.

Paul Taylor was considered by many to be the greatest living ballet choreographer until his death in 2018.

 

You will build high-performance, scalable, robust, secure and extensible software.

Extension is a classical ballet term describing a dancer’s ability to raise and hold a leg extended in the air.

 

Research, innovate, champion new tools and ways of working. In short, you will have a voice.

A strong voice is essential in ballet. Or is that opera?

 

Present your findings. Sleep easy, we will provide you with a clicker... #nextslideplease

Échappé is a ballet movement where the dancer slides both feet out equally into the second or fourth position.

 

You will be expected to dance your way around our Cloud (AWS) environment.

Azure is good, AWS is better. Or is it? Discuss.

 

You won’t be expected to use Tableau.

A tableau is a large picture on stage that is formed from an artistic grouping or formation.

 

Design, build and test new smart products. Get your fingers ready. Tap tap tap….

A finger turn describes a step whereby the ballerina is turning while being partnered by a ballerino.

 

We work hard but we also have fun. We'll actively encourage you to take time out and recharge your batteries.

Batterie is a classical ballet term that is used to describe all steps with beats as a group.

 

The big number is £35,000 plus excellent benefits. Let’s discuss over a frappé.

Incidentally a frappé is a step almost always done at the barre as an exercise to improve quick and precise movement of the feet.
