About the role

  • We’re an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology.
  • We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences.
  • Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.
  • At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.
  • What sets us apart is how we work.
  • We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery—we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge.
  • We’re passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step.
  • At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do. We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly.

Requirements

  • A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
  • A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain
  • An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary “gold-plating”
  • An understanding that quality is everyone’s responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
  • Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
  • A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
  • A DevOps mentality – meaning that you don’t want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
  • A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero
  • Confidence to act as a technical authority, influencing decisions across teams and stakeholders
  • Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical strategy and sustainability
  • The must haves:
  • Fundamental coding experience at least two of the following languages: Python, JavaScript, Node.js, C#, Java
  • Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure (Or both!)
  • Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology
  • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
  • A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
  • Experience working in supporting a live product
  • Experience adapting to different tech stacks
  • Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
  • Experience with database technologies of some flavour
  • Experience mentoring, managing and up-skilling engineers
  • Experience providing technical leadership across teams or programmes of work
  • Experience shaping architectural decisions and guiding engineering best practice
  • Ability to engage with senior stakeholders and translate business goals into technical outcomes
  • And it would be great if you have any of these:
  • Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
  • Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
  • These are the little bit extra, cherry-on-top skills that will help you stand out. Still give us a shout if you haven't currently got these skills though!
  • Experience working in the public sector and healthcare industry
  • Experience working in a technology or consulting company
  • Involvement in community building via blogs, online sites, meetups, or other means
