Job Description

This role would suit an experienced web or application developer who enjoys technical challenges and is eager to explore new technologies and are able to express technical ideas clearly. The main area of the Belyfted Limited Developments business is our successful FinTech apps and website, but this is hosted on a cloud platform so there is very little maintenance of the actual website.

The main bulk of the role will be in maintaining and improving our bespoke, in house and back end systems for order management, production and workflow. You will need to be able to work effectively as part of a close knit team, be highly motivated and organised with great attention to detail and an ambitious nature. Beyond coding ability, an organised approach to work is crucial so functional requests are properly managed and deadlines met. There is a genuine opportunity to grow within a company where your efforts will be not only noticed but rewarded. We are not expecting someone to have an expert knowledge of all the Tech Stack, but a willingness to learn is a must.
