This candidate is a capable Software Developer with 2 years of experience across e-commerce. Their recent work has included integrating systems, supporting releases and fixing defects, with regular responsibility for testing and code review. They are comfortable using C#, Git and Python, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as commercially minded, proactive and solutions focused, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that reduced defects, while they also contributed to initiatives that automated manual processes. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in software development and debugging, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to financial services, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for an opportunity to contribute to a growing business. In their next move, a more stable long-term environment is an important consideration. They are open to hybrid working where the role allows it and value clear expectations around performance. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
