Overview

Group Engineering (GE) add value to Claranet Group companies by designing, implementing and operating common services centrally rather than locally, allowing these companies to focus on their core business. Group Engineering provide these services on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis.

We require a systems developer to help take one of our in-house developed platforms, to a modern solution based on an off-the-shelf product.

In this role, you will be part of the in-life application support for both platforms while focussing on helping deliver our transition to the new solution.

In doing so, you will be collaborating with teams across the Group, and will have an opportunity to solve technically challenging and interesting problems, while still developing your own knowledge and skills in a high paced and rapidly evolving environment.
