🏢 About Amodo Design
Amodo Design is an engineering consultancy tackling pressing technical challenges across various industries, offering exposure to diverse projects rather than a single product. Their multidisciplinary approach provides unique opportunities to work on cutting-edge solutions with varied client needs, making it ideal for graduates seeking broad experience in software engineering.
About This Role
As a Graduate Software Engineer at Amodo Design, you'll design and develop solutions across multiple industries using CPP, JS, TypeScript, and Python for client projects. You'll contribute to both frontend and backend development while working in multidisciplinary teams, directly impacting real-world technical challenges through consultancy work.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves collaborating with multidisciplinary team members on client projects, writing and reviewing code in languages like Python or TypeScript for specific deliverables, and participating in meetings to understand evolving client requirements. You might switch between frontend and backend tasks while applying best practices to ensure high-quality solutions for pressing technical challenges.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Amodo Design Is Looking For
- Recent graduate with hands-on project experience in at least 2-3 of the listed languages (CPP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python), not just coursework
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate in team settings through group projects, hackathons, or internships, with examples of multidisciplinary work
- Understanding of software development best practices like version control, testing, and documentation applied in practical projects
- Adaptable problem-solver comfortable with varied client requirements and changing project scopes typical in consultancy work
