Software development support engineer

This is an opportunity to join a small software development consultancy based west of Manchester in the heart of the North West, with great public transport links and parking.

They have a requirement for a software development support engineer. The role entails support of a wide range of bespoke software products in use by their major clients. Predominantly this will involve handling queries, investigating problems, fixing bugs and making minor changes and additions to the software.

The products are written in a variety of programming languages, sitting on a variety of platforms. There will also be the possibility of becoming involved in larger pieces of development and working on in-house developed software products.

The ideal candidate will

- have used a variety of operating systems (windows, unix / linux, including the unix shell )
- have knowledge of basic networking
- have good ability with SQL
- have used a variety of programming languages, e.g. PHP, Perl, Java, .Net (preferably including some javascript, html and css)
- be a good problem solver
- be happy communicating with end users and customers
- be prepared to learn and work independently

Ability is preferred over experience. Academic and hobbyist experience of unix and programming languages is fine.

In return they offer a relaxed, comfortable working atmosphere, and the opportunity to be part of a growing enterprise and a great team. There is no dress code and Friday afternoons are free to explore new technologies or side projects.
