If you’re a recent graduate, post grad or post doc with a 2:1 degree or higher then buck the current recruitment trend and start paying off your student debts with a job at Snowflake Software.  We’re looking for a motivated, innovative and creative graduate to join our Software Development Team.  We have a vacancy for someone who is looking to take their first step into a fulfilling career in IT.  This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and exciting company where you will be encouraged to show off your skills and talent from day one. 

Based in Southampton, Snowflake’s development team build products for the exchange and management of geographical and technical information. We’re big fans of Agile development and use it extensively (with all the latest tools) to deliver first rate software products to a global customer base across many markets.  As a small specialist company, we pride ourselves in being able to couple technical excellence in software engineering with a strong understanding of our customer’s needs.  Even our Managing Director can code - if only we’d let him!

As a Software Developer, you will be involved in the full lifecycle of development from design and implementation, to testing enhancements for our software products. You’ll learn from our experienced team of developers, you’ll get to take part in leading edge projects across the industry and you can expect to get your hands dirty from day one.  Uniquely, you’ll also have exposure to the commercial arm of the business so you’ll be able to understand the customer needs and see the results of your software development.  Every now and again you can do what you like on one of our ‘ShipIt’ days.  Code what you like as long as you can deliver it in a day and consume pizza whilst you’re at it!

You will be a highly motivated individual, able to work effectively within a team, in a dynamic and challenging business environment. You will have:
•	A 2.1 degree or higher qualification containing a significant element of programming
•	Experience of Java
•	Experience of RDBMS, XML, Web Services
•	Some knowledge of software engineering practices such as Agile, Object Oriented Software Development and Test Driven Development.

Not only will you benefit from working in close collaboration with the rest of our highly skilled team; but if you think you would enjoy the challenge of working in an environment where hard work is recognised and rewarded with a competitive salary package including annual bonus, contributory pension scheme, 25 days holiday and flexible working, send us your CV with a covering letter to [log in to unmask] stating what your experience and skills would add to the Snowflake team.
