About the role

We're on the lookout for a Senior Developer to join our Branch Systems team - the people behind the back-office system used across Booker branches.

You'll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly and help shape the future development of our systems. We're after someone with solid Java experience, and ideally, you'll either know your way around COBOL or be open to learning it (don't worry - we'll provide training if needed).

You should also be comfortable working with scripts in a Linux environment.

This role is mainly home-based, but now and then you'll need to travel to Basingstoke to work with our test equipment, so being within commuting distance is important.

If you enjoy problem-solving, improving systems, and working in a collaborative tech team, we'd love to hear from you.

You will be responsible for

No direct budget or line management responsibilities, but accountable for delivering reliable and efficient code.

You will need

Minimum of 6 years commercial experience of Java
Linux scripting.
Source code management tools, e.g. GIT.
Knowledge of Maven and Jenkins would be beneficial.
Knowledge of retail or wholesale industry business processes would be beneficial.

About The Company

Booker is the UK's leading food & drink wholesaler. We are privileged to serve independent retailers, caterers and small businesses, from locations across the country. We operate over 190 cash and carry branches, eight distribution centres, five Best Food Logistics sites, as well as six support centre locations across the UK.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at Booker means that whoever you are and whatever your background, we always want you to feel represented and that you can be yourself at work. In short, we're a place where Everyone's Welcome.

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That's why at Booker and Best, we always welcome conversations about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we may be able to support you.

We're proud that Booker is a Disability Confident Committed employer and we're committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process.

Please note

We can only accept candidates over the age of 18 if the role requires working before 6:15 am or after 9:45 pm or involves working in areas such as the warehouse, beers, wines & spirits, and driving roles.

On the occasions where we have high volumes of applicants, some roles may close earlier than the advertised end date in order for us to manage all of the applicants appropriately. We will only be able to offer individual feedback to those candidates who attend an interview.

Booker Group is part of Tesco plc, however, is operated separately from the core Tesco business and as such the benefits offered will be different from those offered at Tesco
