Job Specifications
We're an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that's efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.
At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.
What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery—we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge. We're passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step. At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do. We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly. And, we love to share what we learn—using our expertise to help others grow and empowering organisations to succeed in the long term.
Great engineers come from many different backgrounds and are specialists in many different areas. At Burendo, we've got some exciting new projects kicking off, and we're looking for people who want to contribute across the tech stack and be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle.
Requirements
These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.
A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain
An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary "gold-plating"
An understanding that quality is everyone's responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
A DevOps mentality - meaning that you don't want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero
Confidence to act as a technical authority, influencing decisions across teams and stakeholders
Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical strategy and sustainability
We believe every engineer should have a fundamental understanding of development, infrastructure, and testing and therefore you'll need at least some of these skills to help you pick the role up quickly. Burendo is invested in the growth of our consultants and provide a healthy self-development budget you can use to grow in the areas mentioned below, or any other of your choosing!
The must haves:
Fundamental coding experience at least two of the following languages: Python, JavaScript, Node.js, C#, Java
Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure (Or both!)
Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
Experience working in supporting a live product
Experience adapting to different tech stacks
Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
Experience with database technologies of some flavour
Experience mentoring, managing and up-skilling engineers
Experience providing technical leadership across teams or programmes of work
Experience shaping architectural decisions and guiding engineering best practice
Ability to engage with senior stakeholders and translate business goals into technical outcomes
And it would be great if you have any of these:
Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
These are the little bit extra, cherry-on-top skills that will help you stand out. Still give us a shout if you haven't currently got these skills though!
Experience working in the public sector and healthcare industry
Experience working in a technology or consulting company
Involvement in community building via blogs, online sites, meetups, or other means
Benefits
