NielsenIQ Brandbank’s mission is to enable exceptional consumer experiences everywhere, and in the Operations Domain team, we take that mission to the next level, building cutting edge solutions to empower both internal and external users. In Operations, we harness new tools, technologies and are always on the lookout for innovative ways to approach software projects.  

We’re looking for a developer who can delve into new subject matter every day; someone who is always pushing the limits of traditional software development. 

The successful candidate will be a curious, collaborative person who is eager to draw on what they already know and who jumps at any opportunity to dive into new territories. They will be happy and eager to be involved in testing the Operation Domains products, to ensure the software is of the highest quality and to get amazing exposure to the SDLC. 

We work hard, stay passionate, stay curious and support each other. We are always refining our processes and looking at emerging technologies; in Operations, everyone has a seat at the table. 

The Junior Software Developer within the Operations Domain Team at NielsenIQ Brandbank will bring their hands-on technical experience, flair for innovation and willingness to learn to help maintain existing Operation Domains products, test new features and provide support in the development of new products. Working with the IT Manager, Lead Developer and the rest of the Operations team, the Junior Software Developer will translate requirements, ideas and opportunities into features, prototypes and products; whether using technology and processes they are already familiar with or after a period of R&D and discussion within the team. They will take part in all aspects of the SDLC, bring energy to agile ceremonies and support other members of the Operations team.
