Description: We are now looking for a sub-consultant who can take on the role of Java developer.
Within the area of National Assignments at ITS, maintenance and new development of three national systems are underway; the study documentation system Ladok, the admissions system NyA and the grades database Beda. The demands and expectations on the systems are high, which is why new functions and subsystems are being developed continuously. Both systems are used at virtually all Swedish higher education institutions and thus by a large number of students and administrators.
ITS is looking for an experienced developer with a focus on application development with a focus on infrastructure. Development is an important part of the work carried out in the assignments where we iteratively find the best solution together with the business, which requires, among other things, continuous deliveries with high quality but also a strong desire for constant improvement. The development is carried out in teams where the work involves a combination of requirements capture, development and testing. The role involves a great deal of personal responsibility, a team-oriented agile working method in a self-leading team, and good opportunities to develop and learn to further develop larger and modern system support for the benefit of Sweden's higher education institutions.
