Job description

Why we are great for graduates

Over the last 9 years we have a proven track record of hiring and developing local developer. You will not be stuck on a rigid program fixing bugs but given the chance to learn about all parts of the development process. Coding, software design, deploying and server architecture. As you learn what you like and don’t like you can grow into that area of the work. Adam our managing director is an ex-software developer and the whole business is developer led. The software is used by thousands of people a day and the experience of writing software that has to perform for that number of people is exciting. But we expect you to make mistakes and support you to develop your skills.

Who we are

We are Hoowla, an innovative and rapidly growing software provider to the legal and property industry. We are passionate about improving an industry, helping customers and solving problems.

What we are looking for

You will be working on the development of ours and client’s software and be involved in all aspects of the technical development, programming, testing and implementing of our web based services.

The ideal applicant will have completed a relevant degree such as Computer Science or Software Engineering. Ideally you will have done a work placement as a PHP Developer, or have some kind of commercial experience, but this is not essential.

Most importantly we are looking for someone enthusiastic who loves to work in a varied and challenging environment.

What you will do:

You will work in weekly releases. A number of tickets will be assigned to you with some prioritised for specific dates. Each ticket will be either a large new feature that may take a few months to develop or a mixture of bugs and smaller changes to Hoowla that need to get do that week or the next.
