Job Description
THE COMPANY:
Due to an increased demand for their market-leading product, the world leader in the provision of software solutions to the Music and Entertainment industry needs an experienced Delphi Developer. Additionally, this is a very pleasant working environment – casual dress code, laid back and friendly atmosphere and a genuine prospect of cross-training to C# in the future.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
The experience required to be eligible for this role is as follows:
• A minimum of 5 years commercial experience in Delphi development
• Excellent standard of written English
• Adaptable, flexible, team player
And that’s it! We just want good Delphi people (although if you happen to have any C# experience too, that would be an advantage).
THE JOB AND PROSPECTS:
There is very strong growth in the company’s new C# team at present. They prefer to fund growth from within, meaning that existing employees working on older technologies are moved across and cross-trained. Therefore, there is a realistic possibility of moving to C# in the future. With Delphi arguably in decline, could this be a useful boost or safeguard to your career?
We need people who are amenable to carrying out pure development initially, however prospects here are fantastic: All the current managers there started off as developers. Some are running their own products, others are in technical management, and others now deal with company clients. Here, you will have enough autonomy to define your own role. Therefore, if you take the initiative you can shape your role for the future and drive your own progression.
This company caters for all personality types though – you don’t HAVE to be an ambitious go-getter. If you’re not keen on progressing to a client-facing situation and would rather just stay and develop, that is also fine by them. They need full-on software developers!
Overall, this is a lovely place to work – it’s a privately-owned company and feels more like a family company, not at all institutionalised - everyone has a stake, everyone has a say. Being music, entertainment and film it’s an interesting industry to work in too. You’ll be involved in different technologies across the board from front office to back office. The large number of people I have placed here who are still there years later are testament to this!
Location is London, near Euston and King’s Cross
