- Proactive skill and artefact building about assessing and adopting new technologies
- Presentation and demonstration of concepts and services via show-and-tell demos, tech talks and taking part in direct user feedback and evaluation sessions
- Providing and collaborating to produce development work estimates
- Following agile software development lifecycles, but maintaining foresight to reduce tech debt where possible and not at the cost of good documentation, test automation and non-functional considerations

- Proven delivery success in large-scale development projects (including, for example, enterprise integration patterns, high assurance / secure services, high throughput/availability non-functional demands)
- Demonstrable collaborative team working and taking ownership of delivery commitments and addressing challenges
...and finally:
Our team believes in hard work. We celebrate each other's success and are always honest with each other to ensure we grow together.
