We're looking for an experienced developer to join our IT team here at Nisa and help us develop and maintain easy-to-use mobile apps to help our partners run their stores from their smartphones. Since Nisa was acquired by Co-op in 2018, we've focused on combining the best of both organisations to offer something new to independent retailers and commercial wholesalers across the UK. More scale and better product ranges give Nisa partners a real competitive advantage.

In this role, you'll spend a large part of your time working on our OCS app - an app that allows our partners to easily manage their orders hassle-free. We'll look to you to develop new functionalities and maintain this app, as well as build on its success and develop new projects that'll simplify and streamline processes and tasks for our partners. You'll also get to work across other areas of our non-mobile roadmap and develop some of our other business systems too. If you have passion for development and experience in mobile environments, then we can offer you a fantastic opportunity to grow your career and make a genuine impact on our business.

What you'll do
* develop and maintain Nisa's current and future mobile application portfolio
* translate business requirements into functional specifications
* coordinate and work closely with our development team to devise and develop solutions and bug fixes
* develop, implement, and maintain change control and testing processes for modifications to the codebase
* create and maintain technical documentation
* produce ad hoc queries and develop reports to support business needs
* identify inefficiencies in the codebase and investigate solutions
* diagnose and resolve database access and performance issues
* manage the application development in support of business operations
* design, develop, and install enhancements and upgrades to mobile applications and internal systems
* work closely with network administrators and trainers/testers to assist with quality assurance, program logic, and data processing

This role would suit people who have
* sound knowledge of C# (WPF and ASP.Net)
* experience of mobile development using Xamarin for both Android and IOS
* familiarity working with APIs
* the ability to effectively manage own time and workload
* an ability to work collaboratively with the wider team
* good communication skills with the ability to connect with colleagues at all levels

Why Co-op?
Here you'll do work that matters. We're a commercial organisation with a purpose beyond profit, you'll have an opportunity to help us build a stronger Co-op and stronger communities. You'll also get a package that includes:
* competitive salary

* annual incentive scheme
* Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
* 28 days holiday (rising to 32 in line with service)
