Are you an aspiring software developer looking for an opportunity to build your skills, work on meaningful projects, and make a real impact from the start of your career?
At OLS Ltd, we're not chasing hype or experimenting on customers. We're focused on building reliable, well-designed software that supports a growing business with real operational needs. As a family-run business with a strong reputation, real customers, and an expanding in-house software platform, we offer an environment where quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement are valued.
We're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Junior Software Developer to join our growing development team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is eager to learn, develop their technical skills, and contribute to the delivery of high-quality software solutions.
Working alongside experienced developers, you'll gain exposure to modern technologies, contribute to real-world projects, and play an active role in developing systems that support the business every day. You'll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, share ideas, and continuously develop your technical and professional skills.
This is a full-time, office-based role in Doncaster, suited to someone who enjoys collaboration, takes pride in their work, and wants to build a successful career in software development within a supportive and experienced team.________________________________________
