THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Contractor in Software Development to help our major clients transform.
Software developers at Opencast care about building products right and combine their own experience and approach with our company values. They are tech agnostic, have expertise in agile methodologies, eXtreme programming practices and use industry-leading programming languages to deliver agile transformation.
Our approach to software development is collaborative, focused on keeping things simple, and we use test driven development and pair programming as best practice.
Working with clients and key stakeholders is a crucial part of a consultancy role. Our developers are inclusive team players that listen, collaborate, can positively challenge and manage expectations when needed but most of all are always willing to teach and help others. Leaving a client with improved ways of working, working technology and a good experience from discovery through to live is the priority.
Contractors at Opencast follow the same principles as permanent consultants. The roles are varied, technical, never confined to any one provider or solution.
UK Security Clearance (existing SC clearance or eligibility) is a requirement for our contracting opportunities.
Experience in delivering digital services for the UK government is highly valuable for many of our projects. Therefore, familiarity with the GDS toolkit will be essential.

Driving the elaboration of their team’s backlog
Setting testing strategies to match industry standards
Being a technical expert in their team (or acting as the team lead)
Leading the technical representation in a project discovery
Acting as a technical lead in the team, enabling them to achieve their full potential
