Job

We can offer you the chance to help make the UK a safer place through innovation, working in partnership with government and law enforcement organisations on some of the most challenging data and technology problems out there.

We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to building an inclusive, safe and supportive environm ent that allows everyone to do their best work. We are happy to support any accessibility or neurodiversity requirements that you may need during the recruitment process.

About us:

We’ve 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 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:
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’.

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 the 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. Mongo
  
  DB and Elastic Search)
• Working in a containerised environment and using Cloud technologies to build innovative applications for customers.
• Working in a Dev Ops way to help manage and maintain multiple environments using Git Lab, ArgoCD and Kubernetes.
• Taking accountability for quality and security as a team, including pair programming and participating in code reviews.

So, you’ll develop new components, you’ll fix bugs, you’ll learn new ways of doing things and we will learn from you. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work, with plenty of support along the way.

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 Rabbit
  
  MQ and Kafka streams.
• Implementing a CI/CD pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubaneties 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 fulfill 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.
