About The Role
Within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Innovation Lab Wales initiative, seeks to appoint a Software Developer who will manage and contribute to software projects for the Lab alongside another Developer who is already in post.
The Innovation Lab Wales supports the development and testing of software in a variety of areas such as social impact technology, legal technology, and work concerning cyber threats. The software projects will be at the heart of enabling the Lab to provide diverse approaches to solving problems, making the work incredibly varied in conjunction with a broad range of people. Current and to-be-developed projects at the Lab are based on research, proposals, and the requirements of academics, practicing lawyers, NGOs, charities, and other providers working in collaboration with the Lab.
The objective of the software development team is to deliver rapid requirement specification and software prototyping, which will serve as proof-of-concepts for further project proposals or development schemes.
