A new DELPHI programmer is required to join our development team, focusing mainly on our till / point of sale software. This is a DELPHI Windows desktop application, running against a local (MS Access, etc.) database.
The role would suit a seasoned developer looking to extend their career within a very established retail software company. You will work with an extremely complex, hierarchical codebase, using a wide variety of technologies both old and new. We pride ourselves on resilient code, and all code changes should be neat and organized to promote further development.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Enhance our primary point of sale (EPOS) software, a DELPHI Windows desktop application operating against a local (MS Access, etc.) database. Its functionality includes credit accounts, currency conversion, loyalty discounts, receipt printing, cash drawers, gift cards, customer data retention, sales reports, security, time recording, inter-branch transfers, and Z-reads.
2. Enhance the HQ / head office component of the EPOS software, which uses the same DELPHI codebase and handles processing files received from terminals, configuration of global settings, and reporting.
3. Collaborate with other development teams working on data exchanges between EPOS terminals and HQ, stock-keeping and reporting software, and online linkages.
4. Monitor and respond to reported bugs and feature requests via the GITHUB issues system, making design decisions and assessing potential impacts.
5. Attend weekly review meetings to evaluate recent code changes and solutions to reported issues.
6. Manage code updates using GIT / GITHUB, including tagged releases and branch management.
7. Use time-tracking software to record hours worked.
8. Prioritize development projects based on urgency and delivery times, and provide immediate advice on critical issues when needed.
DESIRABLE SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
* Delphi (version 10 or above) with own RAD Studio environment.
* SQL proficiency.
* Knowledge of Data Protection / GDPR.
* Experience with GIT / GITHUB.
* Adaptability to other programming languages, such as Android Studio / Java.
We are open to discussing flexible hours and work location options, including remote work or from our North London offices.
