About us

Mayden is a growing software company, awarded Development Team of the Year at the 2018 UK IT industry awards and finalists again in 2021.

At Mayden we produce healthcare apps, mainly for supporting the recovery of people with mental health issues. We love that the work we do makes a difference, changing what’s possible for clinicians and patients.

We offer a phenomenal working environment and exciting opportunities to learn new skills.

 

How we work

As a development team we work closely together, pair programming, white-boarding and architecting as a team and peer reviewing every line of code. We have fun while we work and are passionate about technology. We work in an agile way, using the Scrum framework to regularly deliver value to our customers.

Our development teams are full stack and you will be working with front end and back end technologies; you don’t need to have experience with a particular tech stack.

Mayden has a flat management structure and a coaching culture, with team members working together and supporting one another to make things happen.

The development team works with the product owner team to prepare work for sprints, we work with our account managers to give our customers the best possible experience, and we work with our ops team to make sure our apps are stable and running well.

 

About you

We are looking for an ambitious placement year student from any relevant course (Web development, Computer Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics) with initiative and creativity who will thrive in a collaborative environment. Joining a small, focused scrum team, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks. The placement will be for 12 – 13 months starting in Summer 2024.

 

What we are looking for:

  • A passion for the work we do.
  • Good organisational and communication skills.
  • A learning mindset.
  • Comfortable with the prospect of pair programming and code reviews.
  • A positive and proactive approach to problem solving both with their team and the wider company.
  • Someone who enjoys collaborating with colleagues to deliver great work and meet important deadlines.

We embed all our placement students into existing development teams so that you work on our products from day one. This means that what you work on will be making a difference to people from the moment you start. We know that this may be your first software development role, but your experience is less important than your willingness to learn – and you will likely learn a lot! We invest a lot in our placement students and are proud that many rejoin us after graduation.

We offer a great set of company benefits, including free fruit, bread and drinks in the office, a coaching programme, and a supportive team to work with in a fast growing company. Join us and help make a really positive difference to thousands of peoples’ lives.

You must be eligible to live and work in the UK. This role will be full time, 37.5 hours per week, and will be based in our offices in Oldfield Park. The role will commence Summer 2024.

–  a little bit about yourself. What isn’t in your CV that you’d like to mention?

– what experiences (work, volunteering etc.) should we be particularly aware of? Why?

– why should we consider you over other applicants? What will you bring to the teams here?

– what do you want to get out of a placement year with us?

About Mayden

Mayden is a growing software company, awarded Development Team of the Year at the 2018 UK IT Industry awards and finalists again in 2021. We love that the work we do makes a difference in healthcare, changing what’s possible for clinicians and patients.

Mayden has a flat management structure and a coaching culture, with team members working together and supporting one another to make things happen.

Benefits

We offer a phenomenal working environment, exciting opportunities to learn new skills, and an excellent package of benefits including:

  • life assurance
  • private health insurance
  • pension (enhanced after successful completion of probation)
  • personal training and conference budget
  • onsite gym
  • parking, including EV charging points
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy or sell annual leave after probation is completed)

Hours and Location

The position is for a full time member of our team, 37.5 hours, Monday – Friday.

Collaboration is one of our four company values – we work best together. We believe there is significant benefit from working face to face when doing so. At the same time, some work may be carried out just as effectively alone and away from the office. We have therefore created a flexible ‘place of work’ policy that asks everyone to be where the work of the day is best completed and overall spend enough time in the office with others to maintain relationships and communication.

This means there are no fixed days, or number of days, when you should be in the office or can work at home. In any given week you may need to work from the office everyday or no days! It all depends on the work being done and you are expected to be flexible. Many people find this approach means they work in the office 3 or more days a week but this varies according to role and the work they have to do.

Our Place of Work policy is available on request.

You must be eligible to live and work in the UK.

This role is not eligible for sponsorship by Mayden for a skilled worker visa.  We are therefore unable to accept applications from individuals who would require an employer to sponsor them for a work permit.

How to apply

Please upload your CV and a covering letter describing your interest in the role and sharing a little about what you would bring to the team and to Mayden. We look forward to hearing from you!

As a development team we work closely together, pair programming, white-boarding and architecting as a team and peer reviewing every line of code. We have fun while we work and are passionate about technology. We work in an agile way, using the Scrum framework to regularly deliver value to our customers.

We have a flat structure at Mayden. Our team members work together to share the responsibilities that managers would traditionally have. Nobody tells you how to do your job, we’re all here to support each other, not get in each other’s way.

The development team works with the product owner team to prepare work for sprints, we work with our account managers to give our customers the best possible experience, and we work with our ops team to make sure our apps are stable and running well.

Skills and experience

Our current tech stack includes (but isn’t limited to) PHP, Slim Framework, JavaScript, React and MySQL, but we don’t need you to have experience with these specifically, as long as you have commercial experience with other modern programming languages.

You should be able to demonstrate your experience with MVC frameworks and/or modern JavaScript frameworks.

Here are some other things that are important to us and our customers, you don’t have to have experience in all of these, just a willingness to learn:

  • Accessibility best practices and standards when working on the front end

  • Software design best practices
  • Source control, specifically Git

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy or sell annual leave after probation is completed)
• private health insurance
• life assurance
• free onsite parking

This role will be based in our offices in Oldfield Park, Bath. We work best together and believe there is significant benefit from working face to face for the work and working relationships. As a general guideline,  we believe it would be difficult to maintain effective communication if you are in the office for less than half of your working time. This has informed our approach to our place of work policy, which allows for some working at home depending on the needs of the business and teams.

To apply for the Software Developer role

Please upload your CV and covering letter. Tell us what you’re passionate about and what you would bring to the Software Developer team, and to Mayden.
