Our working hours are Mon - Fri, 9:00am - 5:30pm (can be flexible). A typical week will be made up of a mix of development tasks such as improvements, maintenance and new features. You will have regular calls with fellow team members to discuss and collaborate on the projects you're working on. You'll also take part in a short daily stand-up with the whole team, as well as sprint meetings every two weeks.
