Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

About the role

We're on the lookout for a Senior Developer to join our Branch Systems team - the people behind the back-office system used across Booker branches.

You'll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly and help shape the future development of our systems. We're after someone with solid Java experience, and ideally, you'll either know your way around COBOL or be open to learning it (don't worry - we'll provide training if needed).

You should also be comfortable working with scripts in a Linux environment.

This role is mainly home-based, but now and then you'll need to travel to Basingstoke to work with our test equipment, so being within commuting distance is important.

If you enjoy problem-solving, improving systems, and working in a collaborative tech team, we'd love to hear from you.

Main Responsibilities

• No direct budget or line management responsibilities, but accountable for delivering reliable and efficient code.

You will need

• Minimum of 6 years commercial experience of Java
• Linux scripting.
• Source code management tools, e.g. GIT.
• Knowledge of Maven and Jenkins would be beneficial.
• Knowledge of retail or wholesale industry business processes would be beneficial.
