Brilliant opportunity for a recent graduate or junior software engineer to kick-start their career with a tech-focused start-up that's scaling fast, just secured fresh funding, and already works with major household names like GymShark, Sky, and RBS.

This business is building innovative products across Data Engineering, Data Science, and Training Services, and they're looking to bring in ambitious junior engineers who want to grow alongside the company and get hands-on experience with real-world software projects from day one.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a fast-growing start-up company where you can make this role your own and help shape the growth of the business.

The role:
*Working as part of a small engineering team on real-world applications
*Helping to build interactive tools, training games, and gamification features
*Learning and developing in JavaScript (Vue / React) and Python
