About Admiral Money
Admiral Money is an exciting, new division of Admiral Group. We have the freedom and innovation of a small start up with the security of a large parent company, Admiral.

- Effective contribution to team activities including Scrum Events
- Commitment to the continual improvement of the software, the team, the discipline, and the business
- Collaborate with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects and other stakeholders

- Ability to work effectively as a member of a Scrum/Agile team
- Knowledge and awareness of accessibility standards and best practices
- Practical understanding of the importance of Secure Software Development practices
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Although not essential, we would be excited to speak to candidates who also have:
- Knowledge of other programming languages (particularly Go, Java, or Python)
- Experience using CSS pre-processors (e.g. Sass), Next.js, and Nx
- Experience working with microservices and event driven architectures
- Database engineering experience (particularly PostgreSQL and DynamoDB)
