The assignments are likely to be 2-3 months, possibly part-time.

The roles are:

- C# ASP.NET developer, to work primarily on the web based management/authoring tool for our chatbots. You need solid C# ASP.NET skills but the project is not over complex so would suit a more junior coder.
- Unity developer, with a focus on scripting/coding (C#) more than 3D design. Experience of deploying Unity on the web and for iOS/Android would also be highly desirable. May extend in to 2013.

Both roles are likely to start in mid/late September, and will be based at our offices in Birmingham, although some home working may be possible.

You must hold British citizenship and will be required to bring your passport to any initial interview.
