We’re approaching our tenth birthday and have gone from being a little-known tech start-up to creating our very own community at the heart of the tech and digital epicentre of the UK – Greater Manchester.  We also have a significant presence in the South West (Malvern/Cheltenham), where this role will be based.

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:
