12 Month Contract role with market leading top tier client.
The Purpose of the role:
The Developer translates the business requirement into executable code without errors. Finds effective software solutions to technical issues. Ensures that the application performs the functions as required by business. Releases source code with zero defects.
In addition, the purpose of this role will also include – Agent-oriented programming (AOP) this is the building of software through externally specified agents with interfaces and messaging capabilities. Agents can exist in a structure as complex as a global internet or one as simple as a module of a common program. Agents can be autonomous entities, deciding their next step without the interference of a user, or they can be controllable, serving as an intermediary between the user and another agent.
The objective of Agent Oriented Technology is to build systems applicable to the real world that can observe and act on changes in the environment. Such systems must be able to behave rationally and autonomously in completion of their designated tasks. AO technology is an approach for building complex real time distributed applications. This technology is built on belief that a computer system must be designed to exhibit rational goal directed behaviour similar to that of a human being.
Agent oriented programming allows for development of autonomous systems which can greatly improve the development speed in a traditional development environment.

Key Outcomes may include but are not limited to:
- Implement the Technical Specification for source code using the relevant development language. Produce source code by applying technical standards and referencing the systems’ exposed sub processes. Update the reference documentation and update the scheduling tool with progress. Consult with Business Analyst and Architect on technical issues encountered. Document logic and comments inside code. Document Database structure changes and rule changes. Produce or update the configuration files.
- Manages the unit test code by conducting unit testing and fix any defects found. Reviews error logs and provide BA with updates on fixes found in testing. Consults and assists the BA in reviewing defects found in testing. During Test Standby duties, handle any defects as raised in the testing process. Release the source code with zero defects
- Conducts defects root cause analysis by responding to incidents escalated by the Incidents team. Log issues in the appropriate issues tracking system. Conduct preliminary analysis on issues. Verify and validate build stability.
