About us:

We have 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 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'.

About the role:

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. This may involve:

• The opportunity to work from both ours and our customer’s Manchester office, working closely with their internal teams.
• 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 different databases (e.g. MongoDB and ElasticSearch).
• Working in a containerised environment and using Cloud technologies to build innovative applications for customers.
• Working in a DevOps way to help manage and maintain multiple environments using GitLab, ArgoCD and Kubernetes.
• Taking accountability for quality and security as a team, including pair programming and participating in code reviews.

Here are some things Naimuri have worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what you’ll be doing day to day:

• Improving systems integration performance, using RabbitMQ and Kafka streams.
• Implementing a CI/CD pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes to simplify deployment to multiple environments.
• Writing React UI using an ATDD approach with Cypress.
• Providing a seamless migration to a newly deployed application for our customer using bespoke business logic.
• Designing and implementing UIs to fulfil complex use cases with a great User Experience.
• Improving docker-compose config and README instructions to improve Developer Experience.
• Participating in the early stage design of new and innovative application using Cloud based technologies.

About you:

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.

If successful, you need to undergo a security clearance process - This can be discussed and explained further at interview.
