Signature Learning and Development

Signature Learning and Development

We’re on the lookout for a great person to join us as we design and build iOS apps for some of the top global companies.

We’re a nimble team where each person has a role, but often works outside that role so we can bring happiness to our clients as we deliver their technical dreams. So rather than say we need an iOS Developer or a Digital Designer or a Programmer, web developer etc… if you have any of these skills then we’d love you to get in touch as we may have a role that fits just around your skills! We’d prefer full-time, and able to work from our office in Leicester, UK.

We would expect that you will be self-driven, enthusiastic, motivated, tenacious, solution-oriented with a positive outlook, and a clear focus on high quality. Mature, credible, and comfortable in dealing with senior company executives and admin people alike. Reliable, tolerant, and determined. Empathic communicator, able to see things from the other person’s point of view.

If you know anyone this might suit - then please let them know!
