Developer - 8 Month FTC

We're looking for a Developer to join our CCX team on an 8 month FTC. Based from NEXT Head Office in Leicestershire!

The Role:

As a Developer within our CCX Domain, you will play a crucial role in delivering quality software solutions to support NEXT's busy Customer Contact Centre. Working alongside Product Owners, developers, a Lead Developer, and a Project Development Manager in an agile setup, you will turn complex technical specifications into robust, secure, and working code.

You will make a tangible difference by driving technical excellence, championing innovative ideas, and mentoring fellow team members. NEXT provides an environment where you are fully supported to thrive, collaborate, and continuously sharpen your skills across a diverse mix of technologies.

What You’ll Take On:

• Deliver High-Quality Solutions: Write clean, secure, and well-tested code across C#, .NET, SQL Server, and modern JavaScript frameworks like React, following best practices and industry standards.
• Drive Technical Leadership: Design scalable back-end system architectures, shape technical direction, and mentor other developers within the team.
• Own Projects End-to-End: Take full ownership of complex technical projects within an Agile/Scrum environment, proactively identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving issues.
• Estimate and Organise: Provide accurate detailed estimates for large, intricate technical solutions, aligning and coordinating project deliverables to meet tight deadlines.
• Collaborate and Communicate: Build strong working relationships across business and technical teams, translating complex technical information into clear, accessible concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring:

• Strong practical expertise in C#, .NET, SQL Server, JavaScript, React, Typescript, and cloud environments like Microsoft Azure.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps/GIT, CI/CD pipelines, and debugging tools such as Fiddler or Postman.
• A proven track record of designing enterprise IT solutions and integrating interoperability technologies like web services or message-oriented middleware.
• Excellent communication skills, with the natural ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
• Strong organizational habits, a high level of personal drive, and the motivation to stay focused during busy project cycles.
• A collaborative mindset, thriving as a supportive team player in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of usability, web standards, accessibility, or content management systems (such as Zendesk) is a great bonus.
  

If you have the technical expertise and a collaborative mindset to strengthen the systems our colleagues rely on, we would love to see your application.
