Building and maintaining an industry-leading product, capable of managing millions of complex contracts, offers plenty of interesting technical challenges.
Alfa has opportunities for Java and React developers with at least two years’ commercial experience. Working on our industry-leading enterprise software product, you will be delivering the benefits of cutting-edge technologies to Alfa’s clients in the asset finance industry.
As our product grows, so does its complexity and so do the tasks of management, architecture, DevOps, QA and all other essential areas of software development.
When you join, your role will be determined based on experience and preference, and can vary over time. Sideways movements are welcomed, even encouraged, with no fear of loss of seniority. Want to join as a developer, but not sure whether you are interested in progressing to management or architecture? Prefer the idea of both? We can accommodate you. Want to get out of engineering entirely? Movement into our consultancy projects - and back - is a common occurrence.

Graduate Programme
Brainy, sociable, and fresh from university? You’ll do well.
We look for people with outstanding talent and achievement, including an excellent academic record. If you can demonstrate this, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
Every aspect of an Alfa Systems implementation is carried out together with the client, so you’ll be willing to work in different locations around the world.
You don’t require a technical background to excel in this role. Of course, if you’ve been involved in IT or software development, you may find it easier in the early days. The main prerequisite is a desire to learn about technology and finance.
We have a number of intakes in a year. If you’re intending a break after graduating, but would like to interview now for a place in a future intake, we’re happy to accommodate this.

How can I prepare for the interview process?
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 have a think before the interview about the achievements and experiences that make you the best person for the job.

How much time will I spend coding?
Every new joiner at Alfa starts off by learning our product from the inside-out; that means software development. After your initial training and depending on your career path, you will either join our central development team (Product Centre) or you will move to an implementation role on one of our client projects. Both options are accompanied by appropriate training and support along the way.
