We also have a significant presence in Cheltenham and London.\nOur name was chosen as an amalgamation of two Japanese words, to reflect our ethos:\nThis principle applies to every aspect of our organisation from technology, process and infrastructure, through to people, culture and leadership. People and culture are at the heart of Naimuri, so that collectively, we can realise our mission of making the UK a safer place to be.\nWe work in an Agile-first environment that values transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. While every team has its own rhythm, you can expect:\nA Culture of Enablement: Our goal is to remove blockers. You'll be empowered to make decisions and given the tools you need to get things done.\nFocus on Quality: We take pride in our work. You'll be part of a culture that values well-written, maintainable code, and your work will serve as a \"definitive example\" for others.\nActive Collaboration: You'll work closely with Platform Engineers, Delivery Leads, and Product Owners, helping to manage and maintain your own infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes) and build automated delivery pipelines (using GitLab).\nAt Naimuri, we work on a variety of projects that range in length from a few weeks to 5+ years. Here are some things we’ve worked on recently that give a sense of the work we do:\nBuilding a data analytics tool using a Neo4J graph database.\nA DevOps platform to support 3000 users.\nProcessing digital forensic data to enable search and insight generation.\nA search and reporting system backed by an ElasticSearch cluster.\nA custom workflow tool using Camunda, with a React/TS front-end\nAn AI assurance capability\nOrchestrating a data pipeline and designing specialist metrics for the evaluation of the performance of LLMs in different contexts.\nAbout the Role:\nAs a Software Engineer at Naimuri, you'll have the autonomy to make impactful decisions, the space to solve difficult technical challenges, and the support of a strong engineering community.\nThis role is about more than just your own code; it's about making the whole team better. We'll look to you to:\nContinuously build in-depth knowledge, apply design patterns, and use appropriate tools to solve complex technical issues.\nProactively find and own solutions to improve team processes and efficiency, and actively collaborate in team meetings.\nEngage in design debates, constructively challenge solutions, identify technical risks, and proactively create/update useful documentation.\nIf the following describes the way you work, then I’d really like to speak to you:\nYou enjoy breaking down ambiguous problems into concrete, deliverable steps, and take pride in implementing a high-quality solution.\nYou instigate collaboration, putting the team first and doing what needs doing to help them succeed.\nYou are comfortable challenging the status quo and look for ways to improve processes, codebases, and team efficiency.\nThis might not be the role for you if:\nYou are uncomfortable with owning the delivery tasks that may require you to seek out cross-team collaboration or guidance.\nYou are not interested in proactively sharing your knowledge or supporting the development of other team members.\nYou're uncomfortable with the ambiguity that comes from working on novel challenges\nLearning and Progression at Naimuri:\nContinuous Personal Development, or Personal Kaizen, is a core part of Naimuri's culture, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to develop in a transparent and supportive environment.\nYou will be assigned a Mentor, usually outside of your team, who can help guide and support you on your development journey.\nNaimuri actively encourages training, through internal knowledge sharing and external courses. You are empowered to identify and pursue opportunities for further training.\nWe have a Naimuri progression framework, which recognizes that continuous personal development drives greater proficiency and depth in skills, roles, knowledge, or leadership. It provides a clear direction for growth and reinforces achievements that support your Personal Kaizen.\nPay and benefits:\nNaimuri pays competitively within the industry based on your role's base location rates. The salary for this position is dependent upon your experience. We assess seniority relative to the team at Naimuri during the interviewing process.\nA full time working week is 37.5 hours and you have flexibility over when you give that time. We also offer part-time working which can be discussed during the recruitment process.\nOur core hours are 10:00am - 3:00pm and our office is open between 7:30 - 18:00, Monday to Friday. Most teams have agreed ‘in office’ days to enable collaboration. Depending on the project, you may also be required to travel to a local customer site or occasionally to other locations in the UK.\nBenefits include:\nFlexible/Hybrid working options\nPerformance bonus\nCompany bonus\nPension matched 1.5x up to 10.5%\nAXA group 1 medical cover\nHoliday purchase/buy-back scheme\nCycle to work scheme\nCar benefit scheme\nRecruitment Process:\nWe are committed to building an inclusive, safe and supportive environment that allows everyone to do their best work, so we strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply.
