_Application Development
Application Development - Windows Azure
As a Cloud App development specialist, you will be responsible for the design and development of bespoke cloud-based applications for Minttulip clients around the UK. With our Microsoft Cloud Power aligned partner status the solutions will be primarily based on Windows Azure, but may include hybrid on-premise solutions where required.
The candidate will support the client engagement process whilst demonstrating an in-depth knowledge of cloud services and will, with the support of the Minttulip business, maintain a current, high level of technical knowledge in line with corporate strategy.
These roles also require that the candidate provides peer review for corporate and customer collateral, and must work to maintain effective communications within the organisation.
Our web developers need to spend most of their time coding and improving their development and software engineering skills. Although we try and minimise interference from meetings and other non coding tasks, you will still be expected to be close enough to the client and required to make the right decisions. Candidates can have a bias towards front end web development (ASP.NET views and html/JavaScript) or more back-end and service oriented (SQL, WCF, Odata, EF4).
Our senior web developers are responsible for implementing the requirements according to the architectural guidance and project plan. They work with a team of developers, helping assign tasks, mentoring where required and generally moving work along within their teams. Senior web developers are expected to take on coding tasks as their primary objective and need to demonstrate a full understanding of the technologies that are being used.
