Varied web tool development in supportive environment
This successful and growing company are looking for bright web developers to work on a suite of web tools written with a variety of languages and frameworks.

This company is looking for bright junior engineers who have demonstrable skills in a set of web programming languages and frameworks such as JavaScript, Python, PHP, node.js, Django, and Laravel. You will also need to know how to efficiently query large SQL databases, secure web applications, and use container tools such as Docker.
You will be joining a team of talented developers and a work environment that prioritises career development. With offices around the globe, you will have opportunities to travel for project work and training. Longer term secondments are also possible.
Requirements:

  • 1st or 2:1 in Computer Science or similar from a top university
  • Good knowledge of web backend languages and technologies
  • Solid understanding of databases and SQL, especially large databases
  • Willingness to learn new languages and frameworks
    For historic reasons, some of the code you will be working on is written in PHP, and so any specific knowledge of PHP would be very beneficial.
    Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
    Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call ecm or email your CV. We will always ask before forwarding your CV.
    Please apply (quoting ref: CV27335) only if you are eligible to live and work in the UK. By submitting your details you certify that the information you provide is accurate

Data Engineering Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads data engineers today Ask any Data Engineer elbow‑deep in late‑arriving CDC streams, an Analytics Engineer stockpiling dbt models, or a DataOps Lead juggling Airflow failures: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes monthly.

To provide an up‑to‑date benchmark, DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Plug in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; out pops a realistic 2025 salary. No stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, details the forces pushing data‑engineering pay upward, & offers five practical actions to lift your value in the next ninety days.
