Ability to work in a team:
In addition to the necessary personality traits, this must have been demonstrated by professional experience where the employee has worked on large software projects where one large piece of software was developed by a team of people (at least 3) and the employee wrote only part of the software.

University degree in Computer Science or related discipline:
The employee must have completed a university degree with a good grade (minimum is equivalent of UK 2:2), preferably a Master’s degree but Bachelor’s degree is acceptable. If the degree is not in Computer Science then Computer Science should have been part of the degree course, e.g. Mathematics with Computer Science or Electronic Engineering with Computer Science. Exceptionally we can accept people with degrees in other numerate disciplines (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering) but only if they have additional professional experience in IT. People with degrees in other disciplines or without a degree could also be considered if they have at least 5 years’ professional experience in IT.

Minimum 2 years’ Professional Experience:
The employee should have at least 2 years’ professional experience after completing their degree. We can accept a minimum of 1 year’s experience if the employee also has the equivalent of 1 further year’s professional experience during their degree studies.

"Professional Experience" means experience derived from full-time paid work in an IT company or an IT department.

In each of the Unix, C, and Oracle skills below the candidate must have current or recent professional experience in the topic, derived from involvement in projects lasting at least 6 months. A minimum of 3 months’ experience in one of the topics may be acceptable.

Unix software development experience:
The employee must have professional experience with software development of server programs that run on a Unix environment.

The employee must have professional experience with development of programs in the "C" and Java languages.

Oracle software development experience:
The employee must have professional experience with developing software (database applications) using the Oracle database. Using Oracle or Database Administration of Oracle is not an acceptable alternative (but is an advantage as an addition). We have a strong preference that the Oracle software development should have been on a Unix environment with Unix-based tools, but we can accept a Windows environment with Windows-based tools provided the candidate fulfils the other Unix requirements above. If the candidate has experience with another database (not Oracle) this might be acceptable but only if they have additional professional experience and if that experience is under a Unix environment.
