About this role
We're looking for a Junior Developer to join our Student Systems team to help build, support and maintain the systems that connect services across the University of Sheffield.
You'll work on applications and integrations that support our student record systems and other key university services, using Java and modern cloud technologies. This is a great opportunity to develop your skills in a supportive team environment, working on meaningful projects that impact over 30,000 students and staff.
You'll be part of a team that's modernising our technology landscape, with plenty of opportunities to learn about Oracle APEX, AWS cloud environments, integration patterns, and software development best practices.
What You'll Be Doing:
Work with senior colleagues to develop new applications and learn about designing using reliable, scalable and secure tools. Follow team processes and standards for development, including writing clear documentation, adding logging and error handling, and sharing knowledge with colleagues. Help identify where processes could be automated and contribute to implementing automation, testing, security and maintenance improvements. Maintain existing systems, applications, integrations and data processing supported by the team. Work as part of project and Scrum teams, and sometimes independently, on a variety of projects. Keep up to date with new technologies, develop your skills, and learn about emerging tools and approaches. Embed sustainability and ethical decision-making into your work, supporting the University's broader mission.
