.Net Software Developer at eShare

Job description

This position is located in Nairobi, Kenya, and applications will only be considered from candidates in and around the area.

eShare is a UK based global company striving to improve governance by providing software to revolutionise meetings. The eShare team is united in the belief that the customer should be at the heart of everything we do, which means we develop with our users not just in mind, but in the room.

 

Our continued expansion means we are looking for experienced software developers to work alongside our UK and Polish development teams.

 

Working in a small agile team you’ll be developing and testing product improvements and features for our three products. You’ll need to be confident about managing several things at the same time, comfortable switching between projects and quick to get up to speed.

 

Working remotely can sometimes be a challenge so out developers need to be organised and able to work independently. They will also have good communication and problem solving skills.

 

You’ll need experience using Microsoft technologies including Office and ideally SharePoint add-in development. More important is a demonstrable willingness to learn new skills and keep up to date with the latest technologies.
