The role:

The Power People is a specialist practice within TNP which specialises in ERP-connected eCommerce, analytics, UX-led apps and portals, and systems integrations. As a fast-growing area of the business in an exciting technology landscape, the Power People are looking to add to their lively and talented team.

As a Developer within the team, it will be your responsibility to design, build, test and deploy inspired software to our customers. You will achieve this through collaborating with some of the industry’s greatest minds, to scope, design, and deliver great software solutions across a range of languages, technologies, and systems. Your projects will range from integration solutions, platformed on Azure Integration Services, to ecommerce stores integrated with ERP software; from progressive web apps for contractors in the field to self-service apps and portals for customers; from extending and customising existing frameworks and products to bespoke solutions built from the ground up, all to meet diverse customer requirements. In practice, this means turning instructions from customers, consultants, and wider project teams into reality through wizardry and development, and jointly owning system specifications from workshops through to deployment and through handover into support. So, if you’re a bit of a coding whizz, with an eye for elegant technical solutions, brave enough to stretch yourself into new applications and use cases as the need arises, and have the below skills, we are the team for you! The role is predominately a work-from-home role, with periodic visits to head office and other locations for team building, belonging and wellbeing, albeit with potential for occasional site visits upon customer request.

To write specifications & provide estimates:

• Digesting 3rd party/internal documentation of products/APIs/etc
• Producing software specifications to meet functional requirements
• Providing realistic estimates for technical work to meet requirements
• Taking responsibility to ensure sufficient information to perform development tasks, pro-actively liaising with Consultants, Project Managers, Solution Designers, and other Developers as required to guarantee clarity and alignment
• Delivering functionality to meet customer project requirements, interpreting functional requirements and technical specifications in line with company/team standards, patterns, and practices
• Developing software from technical specifications within agreed deadlines
• Maintaining awareness of the allocated time for a task and proactively report back to the Project Manager if the timescales are not going to be met
• Managing code and other assets in line with company/team version control practices
• Giving attention to and taking pride in delivering high quality functioning code
• Maintaining up-to-date task documentation throughout the software development lifecycle
• Drafting concise intelligible release notes for non-technical users
• Releasing tested software to downstream environments (i.e. dev to test, test to live)
• Providing third-line support where technical expertise is needed to resolve support tickets
