Senior Software Development Engineer - Automation

About this role

We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer who can walk in the shoes of our users, communicate & collaborate with teams in Operations, Tech and Business stakeholders, bringing a passion for using software and technology to create impactful solutions.

As a candidate for this role you’ll understand the benefits of process automation to enable user efficiency, the importance of well-governed solution development, and how to balance these needs to produce easy-to-use software.

You’re able to seamlessly switch from deep diving users’ needs and technical challenges, to discussing solutions and prioritisation. You’re not afraid to question stakeholder expectations, using your fantastic influencing skills to drive consensus on requirements, bringing it all together into an achievable, impactful solution that creates business value. You thrive in working in a fast paced environment and are excited by the prospect of delivering value through the automation of Business processes.

What you’ll do

  • Build, test, support and maintain a range of internal facing software products and solutions that automate Business processes
  • Collaborate with a wide range of internal teams to define their needs and prioritise delivery of those that add most value
  • Be an advocate for governance, documentation and process, ensuring that everything we build meets our high standards whilst providing a frictionless user experience
  • Integrate analytical thinking into design and development, building metrics to measure the benefits delivered by our solutions
  • Make recommendations to stakeholders and drive a consensus of agreement for your solutions. You'll also be great at keeping them in the loop
  • Use data to transform the way we work, always looking at how we can continually grow

What we’re looking for

  • A passion for software engineering and a track record of delivering solutions in an efficient and maintainable manner
  • An ability to capture process requirements in order to rapidly refine a solution
  • Knowledge of and experience with an object-orientated programming language (we use C# predominantly)
  • You are an effective communicator, passionate about collaborating with technically minded users and engineers, but you can also translate and understand the requirements of non-technical stakeholders
  • You have experience of identifying business opportunities and translating them into technology solutions
  • You bring a user focussed mindset
  • You’re a pragmatic decision maker, comfortable balancing competing demands to deliver Business value
  • You work well with diverse teams, and are great at managing your stakeholder relationships - you also break down jargon to fit your audience needs
  • You’re excited about getting into the details of technology & automation solutions
  • Any knowledge of Salesforce, Snowflake, G Suite, Google App Script, Excel programming and Robotic Processing Automation (RPA) would be desirable (not essential)
  • Any knowledge of AWS would be desirable (not essential)

This is a permanent position based in our Nottingham  office.

We’re big on collaboration and connection, so you’ll be based in our Nottingham office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
