We are looking for someone that likes taking the time to make complex things simple.
We are looking for someone who understands that tests make them a better engineer.
We are looking for someone who has workplace experience (it only needs to be a few years) but it doesn't need to be as a software engineer. We need someone who understands the "getting things done" dynamic.

If you think this sounds like you, or the person you want to be, then please contact mike@picsa.com and tell me why we should meet up to take the next step to you joining us on our journey.
We don't pay wages as high as the big corporates or international tech companies but we will discuss an appropriate compensation based on your experience and our ability to utilise that experience. We set quarterly goals with our team and offer linked increases based on goal achievement so there is scope for regular growth.
We offer 15 days paid leave per year (growing to 20 over your years of service).
