About IDRsolutions<\/strong>
\nIDRsolutions is a small software company of 10 people based in Kings Hill (Kent),
\nLeicester and York, established in 1999 and with about 200 customers across the
\nglobe. We develop a range of software products, including Java PDF SDK and
\nImage library for Java developers, and a PDF to HTML5\/SVG converter aimed at the
\nmobile market.<\/p>\n

Our customers range from small start-ups to the largest companies (Cern,
\nAirFrance, IBM, Paypal, Pearson, UBS, RandomHouse, Zinio, the US and UK
\ngovernments, and even Adobe).<\/p>\n

What we are looking for:<\/strong>
\nWe are looking for a graduate to join our team, initially on a one year contract,
\nwhich we hope will become a permanent contract. The role is a mix of development
\nand support with some input in marketing \u2013 we would tailor the exact role to fit the
\ncandidate. Our main requirements are good Java skills and an ability to learn.
\nKnowledge of other languages such as JavaScript and Python would also be a
\nplus.<\/p>\n

The ideal candidate will be passionate about programming and be able to talk about
\nprojects they have worked on outside of university assignments. We would also like
\nsomeone who works hard and sets themselves high standards but has a sense of
\n‘fun’ and a life away from the keyboard.<\/p>\n

You would be based in the KingsHill office (near West Malling\/Maidstone), with the
\noption to work from home or remotely on occasion.<\/p>\n

What is it like to work at IDRsolutions?<\/strong>
\nWe are a team of developers so focus obsessively on creating the perfect
\nenvironment to write code \u2013 we hate meetings and other interruptions so keep them
\nto a minimum. We are always learning, and Friday afternoons are reserved for your
\npersonal development.<\/p>\n

We develop in a very agile way and you would be joining a small and highly
\nmotivated team with an interesting, important and meaningful role from Day One.
\nWe take our work seriously but we also have a sense of fun and discourage working
\noutside work hours.<\/p>\n

There may also be the opportunity to attend events\/conferences overseas and in
\nUK. In 2018 we attended CodeOne (San Francisco), Business of Software
\n(UK\/Boston), Devoxx (Antwerp) and DevFest (Istanbul) as well as sending a team to
\nmeet our new distributor in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

What we are offering?<\/strong>
\nAt IDRsolutions, you will further develop your Java skills and lots more. You will get
\nto see exactly how a small software company operates from the inside and be a key
\npart of the team.<\/p>\n

There is a starting base salary of 21,000 pounds before tax and 20 days holiday
\n(plus Bank holidays). You would also be eligible to join the Company profit sharing
\nscheme (which pays out 20% of company profits each quarter) and we offer a
\nworkplace pension.<\/p>\n

If you are after a 10 storey office block, 80 hour weeks, a corporate mentality and
\nbelieve that interviews are about knowing the correct stock answers, we will not be
\nof interest. If you are industrious, creative and want a challenging start in business,
\nwhere you will always be improving, challenged and valued we hope you will
\nconsider us.<\/p>\n
