We will help you grow your knowledge of:

Agile software development, DevOps and testing technologies

Programming languages and tools assigned to your core area

Applicants are not expected to have all the technical and business skills needed to start; we understand that knowledge is grown over time. Thus, we’re looking for a candidate that shares our values, strives for innovation and is driven by technology.

Location

OSHQ is based in Southampton, Hampshire but at OS we believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go. We embrace a hybrid working model where we believe the choice is with the individual on when they work from our fantastic office or from home. We want to continue to be an inclusive employer and recognise that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all.
