Junior Software Engineer (national Service Personnel)

Orgmento, a software engineering and data sciences consultancy in Ghana, is hiring a Junior Software Engineer for a National Service Personnel position.
This role requires a grounded understanding of computer coding and software development.
The successful candidate will be able to clearly demonstrate an instinctive affinity for computer coding using general-purpose coding languages such as Python, C/C++/C#, or Java. Although no professional experience is needed to be considered for the role, candidates who can demonstrate personal software projects (e.g., via GitHub) will have a distinct advantage. The interview process will include a series of online technical, code-related challenges followed by an in-person test.
Successful candidates will form part of a dynamic and Agile team, developing software-as-a-service (SaaS) software using enterprise-grade software engineering tools and methodologies. Upon completion of your National Service with Orgmento, candidates who have shown dedication, commitment and aptitude to the requisite level are likely to be offered a role within the organisation. Full training will be provided for candidates who make the grade.
As a company that is committed to the growth and development of its staff, Orgmento is offering the opportunity to be trained in the latest software engineering and data science skills and to work on exciting software projects alongside experienced professionals.
The role is based in Accra, Ghana.
