graduate software engineer
what's it like to work at Jenisys?

what is the position?
The graduate software engineer position is an opportunity for recent graduates to take part in a project that will ship to actual customers. We appreciate the level of programming talent available in Brisbane's universities, and recognise the value of giving recent graduates real experience as they begin their careers.
The position will expose you to a number of platforms, environments and technical challenges. You will be working on our existing code base, implementing new features and refactoring code as we move towards a commercial release.
You will be employed on a contractual basis, as a casual employee. It is anticipated that you will work between 35 to 40 hours a week, with an expected start date on the 12th January. If you are unable to commence on this date, please let us know as we can arrange for you to start up to two weeks later.
who are you looking for?
We are looking for reliable, self-motivated individuals who are pursuing a career in software development. Ideally, you will be a recent graduate or a student entering their final year of a specialist IT degree.
We're interested in results-oriented people with a track record of "getting things done". Having achieved good grades is a bonus, but having worked on your own projects in your own time is better.
You should also be familiar with Java 6 SE and Eclipse. Familiarity with JUnit, Subversion, PostgreSQL and Hudson is desirable but not required.
what will I be working on?
You will be involved in extending and maintaining our extensive Java 6 codebase. You will work closely with preliminary end users to implement and improve new features. Ultimately, your work will become part of a commercial software product.
During the program, you will be exposed to modern software engineering tools including source and version control (Subversion), unit testing (JUnit), build and continuous integration systems (Ant, Hudson), and packaging and deployment tools (Web Start), as well as a number of third-party components and libraries.
You may also be engaged to design, develop and deploy both static and dynamic websites.
what's it like to work at Jenisys?
We believe that a relaxed, casual work environment is also a productive one. As a start up, we have the flexibility to achieve this balance.
In terms of development, we utilise an agile process, incorporating prototyping and iterative development of small, frequent releases to our preliminary end users. This approach allows us to quickly gather feedback on new development and adapt to changing needs.
