About CherSoft
CherSoft is a software development company specialising in the marine domain. Founded by software developers, we know what is needed to product good software. We are large enough to have interesting and challenging products, yet small enough to understand the individuals that work for us and the value and contribution they make. This shows in the company culture – we invest in our office and equipment to create a pleasant working environment and enable the balance between quiet, focussed work and team collaboration. Employees are supported by providing flexible working hours, hybrid working, and the encouragement of continuous learning that inspires people to work at CherSoft.
We offer flexibility of working location. Having our Sheffield office a base can be helpful to provide effective ways of collaborating on projects and learning from each other, which can be important in the early stages of your time with CherSoft. However, a lot of the team also enjoy working predominantly from home. If you are looking for a remote role, we will usually ask new starters to join on a hybrid basis initially to get up to speed with things before moving to a predominantly remote working model, but we are open to considering candidates based anywhere if they have the right skills and experience.
Deerfoot’s Discussion with the Hiring Manager
Following our briefing with the hiring manager here are some notes we made;
- The team is currently made up of 25 Developers. With continued growth, they are currently looking to onboard a further two developers. Over the course of the next few years, there are plans to bring total numbers close to 50 developers which suggests there are likely good chances for career progression as more junior developers join.
- Very low staff turnover, with the average employee spending 9 years at CherSoft
- Join a focused team of intelligent colleagues and benefit from shared knowledge and expertise

In addition, the ability to shape and drive development processes within the overall company practices - for example, in the area of DevOps and CI/CD for cloud systems – will be favourable. Underpinning these leadership skills is the need for excellent communication, team-working and inter-personal skills.
