Student Software Engineer (12 month placement)
Consult Red is a trusted partner to the digital media industry and beyond, driving innovation and delivering support through the entire product development journey.
We apply our cutting-edge experience in product development, hardware, embedded and cloud technology to help companies in all sectors to deliver connected devices and systems.
Founded in 2003, Consult Red has grown a strong reputation working with some of the world's leading subscription TV and media operators. We've grown from being an embedded specialist in the media sector to a provider working with companies in other industries such as Energy and Healthcare. We've applied our cutting-edge experience and talent in product development, hardware, embedded and cloud technology to help customers deliver connected devices and systems.
As the world becomes more and more connected, it's this experience that we think will drive opportunities for our clients looking to broaden their appeal and their business in the next decade.
We work with clients as a secure, discreet and reliable partner who works hard in the background, making sure everything is done on time. Our teams are based in and around our three offices in Yorkshire in the UK, Wroclaw in Poland and Los Angeles in the USA.
Due to COVID-19, our staff are currently working from home and therefore the interviews for this role will take place online.
The placement student role is normally based in our Shipley, West Yorkshire, UK office (close to Leeds and Bradford), and we hope that by the time you start with us in summer 2021 you will be able to join us in the office. Depending on the situation nearer the time, some amount of home working may be required.
You'll join us on an initial 12-month placement and, after getting up to speed working on internal projects, you'll become part of an Agile development team; working in a fast-paced, customer-facing software development role. This will give you a great grounding in embedded software design, as well as commercial experience of C++ and Java, and exposure to technologies such as Android.
This role will challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone, so we're looking for bright, able students with sound theoretical knowledge, an ability to learn “on the job”, and excellent inter-personal skills.
Most of all, we're looking for people that are passionate about embedded technology and who want to expand their horizons in an exciting and fast-moving area of the technology industry.
Applicants Must:
Once you submit your CV, we'll send you a short online form asking you to confirm a couple of details. This will then go directly to our team to review.
If your background looks like a good match, we'll ask you to do short technical test and, providing that goes well, we'll want to meet you for an online interview, to find out more about your knowledge, your experience and what makes you tick.
