Opportunities!
by Joe Fowler 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hi All, See below for a round-up of some of the recent opportunities we have been sent. Regards, Joe FundingKnight FundingKnight are looking for a junior developer to join our programming team. FundingKnight are a disruptive Peer to Business (P2B) lending company, arranging loans from groups of individuals (who might have as little as 5 pounds to invest) to UK businesses looking to borrow between 50-150k pounds. Our business model combines an emphasis on human contact with our borrowers, and a self-service web solution for lenders (albeit with a human available at the end of a phone for those who need it.) Our platform is, therefore, the core of what we do. A set of business engines handle all the core business information, abstracting it away from the backend MySQL into a set of APIs. The front-end calls those APIs and turns them into a web page suitable for the customer's device. This is handling real money for real people - testing is a critical part of what we do, and the junior developer will be someone looking to get experience across all the aspects of developing a site, not just the code-cutting silo - so testing, code promotion, and documentation will be as big a part of your role as coding. You'll be passionate about writing code, though it's more important that you understand things like abstraction and big-O notation than it is that you have language-specific experience in the tools we use - PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, JQUI and HighCharts. Our Chief Programmer was at New College, where she read Engineering Science, and our CTO at Balliol, where he read Maths/Comp (as it was back then), so we're keen to talk to candidates from a range of analytical backgrounds, not just those who've studied CS. This is a back-office type role, where jeans and T-shirts, rather than suits and ties, are expected 90% of the time, and where you'll be interviewed by the people you'll be working with as much (or more) than the person you'll be working for. The development office is based a little south of Gatwick in West Sussex, and you'll be expected to be there most of the time in your first few weeks with the business. However, we are keen to promote remote working, (after those first few weeks), so we'd certainly consider someone whose intention was to remain Oxford-based long-term. Please apply with a CV and a covering email to the CTO - mark(a)fundingknight.com - the CV can be in any reasonably common format - Word, OpenOffice, PDF, link to a web page.. Social Entrepreneurship Society Web Course <See attached webcourseinfo.docx> AKQA Technology Graduate Role applications now open The AKQA Technology Graduate Programme is tailored to each person we hire, in line with your skills, passions and aspirations. The Programme covers 12 months and is made up of four three-month rotations in the core disciplines of Web Development, Software Engineering, Mobile, Quality Assurance, the final rotation being in a mutually agreed specialism. As an AKQA Technology Graduate you'll be immersed in exciting projects from day one, because we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. You'll spend time developing a blend of specialist knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. This understanding will provide a platform for you to advance the discipline, make an enduring and positive contribution to society, our clients and AKQA. Applications for this programme are now open, and close on 31st December. Please register your interest here: http://www.akqa.com/careers/london/technology/technology-graduate/ -- Joe Fowler President - Oxford University Computer Society president(a)ox.compsoc.net <mailto:president@ox.compsoc.net>
