Senior Developer

Senior Software Developer We are a passionate group of developers who are looking for new members to join our growing team. We offer a great environment to develop your true talents and are looking for people who are already confident with C# and the .NET framework and would like to be better at everything they do, and perhaps try something new. If you can identify with just a few of the things on the list below, or if they sound like a description of the place you want to head towards, then please come and talk to us. You might… Be keen to work as part of a team where you can participate fully in discussions and joint decisions on application design and development practices. Have formed opinions about what good software development looks like that you are keen to share with others and to promote the use of those practices by the team. Be interested in things like functional programming, or Angular, or React, or Raven, or Mongo or some other flavour of NoSQL. Be confident in following your software beyond the development process and all the way to clients’ machines with an in depth knowledge of CI/CD, pipeline creation and deployment to cloud systems. Know something about what you’ll find under the noestimates hashtag. See as much of an interesting challenge in refactoring existing code as in creating new code. Like technology and gadgets and might have tried running OS X on a raspberry Pi and will want to share how you did it. Be able to talk to us about agile and Lean and why you like working in this way – or why you’d prefer not to. Be involved in your local tech community and might be found at XP Man, Chester Devs, the Limited WIP society, or Lean Agile Manchester. Our product development teams work on a range of products all servicing the fuel pricing industry. There is a broad mix of pure green-field product development as well as enhancements, improvements, bug-fixing, and wholesale refactoring of our existing legacy products. Team members are often free to choose the technologies and techniques required to deliver the requirements that are being asked of them. We use a variety of techniques to drive value and are consciously heading towards more agile and lean ways of working. We value test first development, XP practices, and emergent design. Team members are encouraged (though not forced) to attend development events and conferences and there will be regular hands-on training in the office as well as access to online and other training resources. In addition to this we offer a very competitive benefits package, a fun and relaxed working environment in a brand new Deansgate office, some interesting problems to solve, and many other opportunities to learn and progress.

You will be working in a cross-functional team working in a Scrum / Kanban environment tasked with delivering a wide variety of software solutions across our range of products.

We value test first development and a CI/CD delivery pipeline.
