We’re looking for a Web Full stack developer to fit into our Retail and Omnichannel development team. The team builds software that powers our clients’ Retail operations – in Store, our clients use our Point-of-Sale system (the registers) and its corresponding ecosystem, and at Head Office, our clients manage stores chainwide, and broker and route omnichannel Orders (whether they are ordered online or in-store).
Our Web software stack currently consists of an AngularJS-based web application, an ASP.NET Core MVC web app, and mixed Java and .NET web services (we also have some no-longer-supported legacy webapps in JSP and Perl). We are looking to the future and hoping to unify (and modernize) our web application stack – we are leaning towards a fully .NET-based web stack to match our Desktop stack and unify the languages and tools used, both team and company-wide. For the database, we use Oracle and make heavy use of Stored Procedures for the business logic.
This means that this position needs to be comfortable working across different web technology stacks, and be able to suggest and work new potential avenues in the future (as web technology is always evolving!).
This is a Mid-Senior position within the team.
