Job description

Overview

As part of our Manchester based software delivery team you will be working on applications and systems used by one of our largest customers. This may involve upgrading or re-platforming an existing application, developing a new one from scratch, or working to create a solution that will become the backbone of the customer's software for years to come.

Responsibilities

• Designing, implementing, integrating, documenting, and maintaining software solutions.
• Working with Product Owners and end users, delivering incremental value using Agile ways of working.
• Full stack development using front end technologies, such as React, developing APIs using back end technologies such as Java and using a variety of databases (e.g. MongoDB and ElasticSearch).
• Working in a DevOps way to help manage and maintain multiple environments using a bespoke platform (based around GitLab and Kubernetes).
• Building and adding to automated delivery pipelines (using GitLab).
• Taking accountability for quality and security as a team, including pair programming and participating in code reviews.

So, you\'ll develop new components, you\'ll fix bugs, you\'ll learn new ways of doing things and we will learn from you. You\'ll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work, with plenty of support along the way.

Recent projects (illustrative)

• Designing and implementing a bespoke LBAC solution
• Implementing Access/Role Based Access Control to application features
• Writing React UI using an ATDD approach with Cypress
• Developing new SpringBoot micro-frontends to enable delivery of new functionality
• Improving docker-compose config and README instructions to improve Developer Experience
• Writing CI/CD pipelines

We pay competitively within the industry based on your role\'s base location rates. The salary for this position is dependent upon your experience. We assess seniority relative to the team at Naimuri during the interviewing process.

Hours, location and travel

A full time working week is 37.5 hours and you have flexibility over when you give that time. We also offer part-time working which can be discussed during the recruitment process. Our core hours are 10:00am - 3:00pm and our office hours are between 7:30 and 18:00 Monday to Friday. Our teams have agreed \'in office\' days to enable collaboration in our Manchester office, and you may also be required to attend a customer site (Manchester) or on occasion to travel to our client office in London.

Benefits

• Flexible/Hybrid working options
• A company performance related bonus
• Pension matched 1.5x up to 10.5%
• AXA group 1 medical cover
• Personal training budget
• Holiday buy-back scheme
• A flexible benefits scheme

Recruitment Process

We want to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident when interviewing with us. To help you prepare, our recruitment team will discuss the process in more detail with you when you apply. We are happy to support any accessibility or neurodiversity requirements.

What we look for

We\'re looking for someone with experience of developing software solutions. You should have some opinions on:

• What good code looks like (front end or back end)
• How best to deploy software
• How to operate systems on top of Kubernetes infrastructure
• How to spot smells in the code

You\'ll need solid fundamentals in software development, systems integration, problem solving, and teamwork. You might have a degree, it might be in a related field. You might not, and you can demonstrate how you\'ve trodden the path for yourself.

We can offer you the chance to help make the UK a safer place through innovation, working in partnership with government and law enforcement organisations on some of the most challenging data and technology problems out there. We\'ve been around for about ten years and grown from being a little-known tech start-up to creating our own community at the heart of the thriving and diverse tech and digital ecosystem of Greater Manchester. In the last couple of years, we have expanded our footprint by creating and growing a London base also. Our name Naimuri is Japanese and simply means… \"nai\" meaning \"not\" \"muri\" meaning \"overburden\" These principles apply to every aspect of an organisation from technology, process and infrastructure, through to people, culture and leadership. This means that we empower our teams to do what they think is the right thing, giving them the skills and confidence to explore new ways of working, and to create a bias-free environment, where all our people feel comfortable collaborating to deliver the finest ideas and solutions in an agile environment.

Our business is focused on 4 cornerstones, which shape and underpin the way in which we go about work and treat each other. These are: Wellbeing, Empowerment, Perpetual Edge and Delivery. People and culture are at the heart of Naimuri, so that collectively, we can realise our mission of \"making the UK a safer place to be\".
