Are you looking for an opportunity to dive head-first into a software development role where you can make meaningful contributions from the start?

At Arctic Lake, we’re looking for problem-solving, challenge-seeking, knowledge-soaking graduates who want to dive head-first into a software development role. You will receive on-the-job training, including pair programming, interactive talks, and collaborative problem-solving.

  • Deeply interested in low level programming
  • A creative thinker who loves tackling complex issues
  • A self-starter who values seeing projects through from start to finish
  • Able to ask for help when you need it

Benefits:

  • £40,000 annual salary pro rata

  • Ability to choose own project
  • Flexible hours
  • State-of-the-art tech
