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’.
About the role
As part of our London 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:
1. The opportunity to work from the customer’s London offices, working closely with their internal teams
2. Designing, implementing, integrating, documenting, and maintaining software solutions.
3. Working with Product Owners and end users, delivering incremental value using Agile ways of working.
4. Full stack development using Front End technologies, such as React, developing APIs using Back End technologies such as Java, RabbitMQ,, and using a variety of different databases (e.g. Postgres and ElasticSearch).
5. Working in a DevOps way to help manage and maintain multiple environments using a bespoke platform (based around GitLab and Kubernetes).
6. Building and adding to automated delivery pipelines (using GitLab).
7. 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:
8. Improving systems integration performance, using Apache Ni-Fi, by balancing scaling and flow improvements through chunking
