Company Description

JJ Food Service is the third largest food service company in the UK, selling over 20,000,000 food items a year. We have a great culture and care about the people we work with. We have a few problems to solve, from what is the best way to manage the workload in our warehouses and call centres to forecasting how much ice cream we need for Thursday in our Manchester Branch.

Job Description

When you get up in the morning and think about your work for the day, are you excited to get started? Do you feel like the work you do makes a difference and moves the business in a meaningful way?

 

We believe software development involves a lot more than just writing a code. We see it as our core job to really understand our domain and stakeholders so we add as much value to the business as possible.

 

The 850 people at JJ Food Service makes it easy for restaurants to get the raw ingredients they need to run a successful business.

 

You will be working to improve the way we move goods around our warehouses, working out how much ice cream we need in Manchester on Thursday or shaving off some milliseconds on a codepath. We have many real world problems to solve and we believe smart developers can fix them.

 

THE TEAM:

Refactoring, and Continuous Delivery are deeply embedded and we are constantly striving to improve the way we work. We regularly attend conferences and community events, both as participants and contributors and frequently retrospect on how we can improve the way we work

However, we are not perfect nor are we afraid to admit this. We recognise we have many problems which need solving and a long way to go on our journey of continuous improvement. We are in the process of moving to Test-driven development (TDD)
