Pontefract, United Kingdom NEXT Full time

While you’ll have heard our name, there’s a lot you probably don’t know about NEXT. Like how we create most of our systems ourselves – whether it’s a website, mobile app or application. What’s more, we’re growing. Fast. And it’s the kind of growth and investment that is exciting for everyone in our business.

Our huge warehouse estate in Yorkshire is held together by the Warehouse team, the warehouses have an enormous amount of tech that allow us to receive, store, pick and pack items for our customers - handling everything from socks to sofas The Warehouse team focuses heavily on automation which includes 40 miles of conveyor linking everything together across our sites, hundreds of storage and picking robots - a very fast moving, continuously changing part of NEXT Technology.

The role

Technology drives what we do. Plain and simple. As we’re going through a huge change as a business, we need a solid team with us who are committed to driving our systems forward. 

As a Senior or Lead Developer, you’ll be an important part of this. Your focus will be on developing and supporting systems that ensure our Warehouse & Distribution operation continues to remain unrivalled. You will be working within our Packing Team, who currently work in a distributed microservice architecture, developing and supporting code in around 15+ services. These services communicate in a loosely coupled fashion using Azure Service Bus, operational data is stored in Azure Cosmos DB a highly scalable NoSQL database and aggregations for reporting and unique business requirements are stored in Azure SQL Server. 

The Packing Team develops NuGet packages for commonly reused code and all our services follow domain-driven design and are structured in line with the clean/onion architecture, aiming to abstract away dependencies and make the code easier to maintain and change. The Packing Team also contributes to open source projects which are used in a lot of our services. 

The Packing Team hosts the majority of their services in AKS, with a few services running in Azure App Service & Azure functions. The team are also keen on observability, looking at the cutting edge of monitoring solutions, making use of open telemetry.

Tech stack wise the Packing Team uses:

.NET 8 Blazor Azure Service Bus Azure Cosmos DB and SQL server Kuberenetes Docker Terraform Bicep Open Telemetry 

We do also have a number of older applications for packing functions across different warehouse sites. As time progresses, our intention is to bring these all into the same architecture as our newer packing application.

You’ll help provide development support to internal users, as well as offering occasional out-of-hours cover. You’ll also use your expertise and experience to help us continually improve our processes and working practices, actively enabling the department to become as efficient and effective as it can be.

You’ll be doing all this from our South Elmsall Warehouse Complex. A fast-paced, encouraging and supportive environment in which everyone brings an energy and a commitment to delivering for our customers and their own careers. Bring your energy. Play to your strengths. Make things bigger and better than before. Let’s Take It On.

So if you’re an expert in this field, have strong communication skills and considerable C#/.NET knowledge, work with initiative and can build great working relationships within the business, this is the place for you – and your career.
