Frontend Developer

"it's about getting the best people, retaining them, nurturing a creative environment & helping to find a way to innovate."

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be joining a software delivery team which is already doing amazing work within the National Security, Intelligence and Law Enforcement sector. Our teams are small (usually no larger than seven people) allowing you to stay agile and collaborate effectively. 

Our development teams are responsible for the following:

● Designing, implementing, documenting, and maintaining software solutions.

● Frontend development using Javascript technologies, such as, but not limited to, NodeJS, React, Redux, Express, eslint, Typescript, testing frameworks and tools (Jest / Mocha / Testing Library / Cypress), integrating AWS services and using a variety of different databases (MongoDb / ElasticSearch).

● Working with our DevOps specialists to help manage and maintain their own infrastructure (using Kubernetes).

● Building and adding to automated delivery pipelines (using GitLab).

● Taking accountability for quality as a team, including pair programming and participating in code reviews.

● Sharing knowledge and being open minded to solutions.

● Staying up to date with the latest frontend technologies.

As a part of the frontend team you’ll develop new components, fix bugs and solve technical challenges rooted in UI and UX. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work, with plenty of support along the way.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone particularly passionate about working with modern Javascript technologies to solve visual and customer facing problems. As a result we’d like candidates to have the ability to weigh up their opinions on:

● Structural builds in React.

● State management in tools like Redux.

● Type safety in code.

● Good practices e.g. comments, documentation, easy to read code, spotting smells etc.

● Infrastructure and technology requirements.

A degree in a related field is useful but not required. A lot of technology used in our frontend projects still isn’t overly prevalent in universities but there are other ways to demonstrate your skills.

For those who are experienced, an up to date public repository such as Github is key to demonstrate how you write your code and what we can expect from you as a programmer. The same applies for newcomers to frontend but it may also be beneficial to demonstrate proficiency through a qualification via a local or regional coding training provider that is setup to deliver more modern material.

ABOUT US

Our offices are in Media City and you can work from home too. Most of the company split their time and you can do what works best for you. We are lean, and we have a high ratio of ‘do-ers’. You need to be able work as part of a team and take ownership and deliver against your own tasks.

Our values, which have been set by our people (not the management) are Integrity, Accountability, Pride and Passion, Courage, Ambition and Initiative, Collaboration, and Caring.

Everyone has a voice at Naimuri and we are always keen to hear yours. We continue to grow steadily, and are always looking at ways to improve how we share, operate, communicate and learn together. We really believe in helping grow the North West further to become a technical hub, specialising in security and intelligence.

 
PAY AND BENEFITS

Naimuri pays competitively within the industry based on North West rates. The salary for this position is dependent upon your experience and is relative to our current people (who are great btw). It is vital to us that all our people are paid commensurate, to ensure everyone feels valued. We assess seniority relative to the team at Naimuri during the interviewing process.

We expect you to work 37.5 hours per week, and you have flexibility over when you give that time. Our office hours are between 7:30 and 18:30 Monday to Friday. We don’t want you working excessive hours, that is simply not sustainable. You choose if you want to start late and spend breakfast with the family. Be ready for work by allowing yourself the time to get your life sorted however you see fit. You'll also get health insurance, big company style pension (10.5%), plus access to our Bike2Work scheme, free learning materials / certifications, a company bonus and access to our share scheme, holiday buy-back options and discounted electric vehicles.
