JOB DESCRIPTION

Sainsbury’s is looking for C# Web developers to help develop our internal systems to support our future business development. You will work closely with other developers across multiple platforms and technologies to create a beautiful application ecosystem that is consistent, highly usable, and reliable.

As a C# Web Developer you will:

·  Write well structured, commented, beautiful code.
·  Assist in architecting the application.

·  Look out for new technologies and use them when they fit.
·  Feed your opinions to the product team.
·  Be exposed to platform architecture and learn why we hire DevOps, not sysadmins.
·  Join an agile team and contribute what you’ve learnt to improving the process.
·  Define your career path and be given the opportunity to grow and learn.
·  Be close friends with tracking tools, not enemies.
·  Self-starter in utilising and adopting new technologies.
·  Provide 2nd or 3rd line support to business applications.
·  Be part of the on-call and out of hours rota as required.

You have excellent knowledge of:

·  Writing great code, design being as important to you as writing the code.
·  Experience of C# and ASP.NET and MVC knowledge would be essential.
·  Developing code in a Test Driven Development (TDD) approach and utilising mocking frameworks for testing code.
·  Familiar with Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
·  Develop RESTFUL API Services.
·  Excellent knowledge of SOLID principles and design patterns.
·  Develop responsive design websites using frameworks like Bootstrap.
·  Develop websites using JavaScript frameworks like JQuery, AngularJS and Backbone.
·  Knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3.

You will have good understanding of:

·  Working in a continuous integration and delivery environment.
·  Knowledge of GIT and TFS source repositories.
·  Agile SCRUM methodologies.

Technologies we’re using right now (and you’ll be expected to use too):

·  C#, Net 4.5, ASP.NET MVC, WCF,
·  AngularJS, Backbone, JQuery
·  Bootstrap, CSS, HTML5,
·  Entity Framework, Web API
·  TDD and SQL Server
·  GIT and Team Foundation Server
