Delphi Developer with Team Leading/Management experience - Music Indus

Delphi Developer with Team Leading/Management experience - Music Industry - London Location is London, near Euston and King's Cross Salary: Max £40,000 plus Bonus and benefits package

THE COMPANY:
Due to an increased demand for their market-leading product, the world leader in the provision of software solutions to the Music and Entertainment industry needs an experienced Delphi Developer with team leading/staff management experience.  Additionally, this is a very pleasant working environment - casual dress code, laid back and friendly atmosphere and a genuine prospect of learning C# in the future. They are currently working with the latest XE2 version of Delphi.





EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

The experience required to be eligible for this role is as follows:



TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:



   » A minimum of 5 years commercial experience in Delphi development
   » Commercial RDB experience (preferably SQL Server or Oracle)
   » Excellent standard of written English
   » Adaptable, flexible, team player



MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:



   » Software development life cycle
   » Project Management
   » Client liaison



Experience of the kind of challenges typically encountered in a software house environment, such as:



   » Several clients all want their software NOW! How do you prioritise that across a small team? When have you done that in the past?
   » Dealing with support issues whilst trying to get development releases out
   » Juggling several different conflicting items





THE JOB AND PROSPECTS:



You would start off in a development role but move up to the team leading position absolutely as soon as you are ready! There would be no arbitrary minimum timescale on this: You would take over the team as soon as you are realistically capable of doing so.



Additionally, there is strong growth in the company's new C# team at present. They prefer to fund growth from within, meaning that existing employees working on older technologies are moved across and cross-trained. Therefore, there is a realistic possibility of moving to C# in the future. With Delphi arguably in decline, could this be a useful boost or safeguard to your career?



Overall, this is a lovely place to work - it's a privately-owned company and feels more like a family company, not at all institutionalised - everyone has a stake, everyone has a say. Being music, entertainment and film it's an interesting industry to work in too. The large number of people I have placed here who are still there many years later are testament to this!
