Some quick questions we can answer
You know what qualities and skills you bring to us, so make sure you tell us. We need to be sure you are actually interested in the different facets of the role, so researching and showing an enthusiasm for the industry and our projects is a must. Showing how you stand out from the crowd can be tough, so think about it before the interview about the achievements and experiences that make you the best person for the job.
Every new joiner at Alfa starts off by learning our product from the inside out; that means software development. During the induction, you will learn the fundamentals of Java, and after that - depending on your role - there will be opportunities to dive into a range of learning experiences.
We are a pretty social bunch at Alfa. We have regular social events, quarterly Company Meetings and an annual Conference. We have a rooftop café that serves top-quality coffee and snacks, and is a great place to have casual meetings or catch up with colleagues and friends.
You will be based in our headquarters at Moorgate, London, unless you choose to carry out a role at one of our customer sites in Europe or work on an international assignment in the US, Australia or New Zealand. At Alfa we've adopted 'Smart Working' so where you work from each day, whether from home or the office, will be discussed with you and your team to ensure your daily locations work for everyone.
