While you’ll have heard our name, there’s a lot you probably don’t know about NEXT. Like how we create most of our systems ourselves – whether it’s a website, mobile app or an application. What’s more, we’re growing. Fast. And it’s the kind of growth and investment that is exciting for everyone in our business. 

About the team

Our eCommerce websites and apps have grown steadily over the past10 years to become one of the largest online retail platforms in the UK. We currently sell to 70 international markets, offering our 6 million active customers a personalised shopping experience and the ability to purchase from a wide range of products using multiple delivery methods and payment types.

About the role

Are you passionate about creating top-tier, commercial level mobile applications from the ground up? Do you thrive in dynamic environments and relish the opportunity to make a significant impact? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you!
 
Our goal is to completely rewrite our customer-facing Android app using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, bringing a fresh, accessible and seamless experience to our users. With our eCommerce apps driving around 50% of our online trade, this is a fantastic project to be part of.

In this role you will:

  • Help establish architectural foundations: Draw on your experience to influence best practice for setting up new, performant Android apps.
  • Design and Implement Features: Create white-label mobile apps that not only offer rich functionality but also provide an inclusive and accessible experience for all users.
  • Build Adaptive User Interfaces: Develop intuitive Phone and Tablet interfaces that scale perfectly across various screen sizes.
  • Collaborate: Work with our business stakeholders (eg. Product Owners, UX) to collate and understand requirements, and work alongside a talented team of developers within our eCommerce technology department

About You:

We are looking for a motivated and skilled developer with:

  • Technical Proficiency: Demonstrable experience in building robust Android applications using Kotlin / Jetpack Compose, with familiarity with the Android ecosystem.
  • Analytical & Problem Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot, optimise application performance, and resolve complex technical issues effectively.
  • Collaboration & Communication Skills: Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices.
  • Automation: Proficient in implementing Unit Testing and UI Tests using Test framework to ensure application reliability.
  • Agile Methodologies: Proven track record in agile development methodologies, including experience with Scrum.
  • CI/CD: Solid experience in continuous integration and delivery using Git and Azure DevOps.
