Did you know that Wren Kitchen's team is on the cutting edge of technology, making the most of cutting edge tech including:

This tech team are led by tech people; Developers who have been there and done it meaning they know what is possible and understand realistic timescales for pieces of work. They work to agile methodologies and the devs get solid documentation, pulled together by dedicated BAs and prioritised by technical PMs.

Wren are now looking to strengthen their in-house development teams by recruiting a number of Software Developers to reinforce the good work that has shaped these teams over the last couple of years and to provide the first class online presence and technical backup as Wren create a further 1200 jobs in their upcoming £120million expansion.

They need Developers who can work closely with the marketing team, building an appealing online platform to encourage customers to order from Wren and helping to maximise the customer's investment in their new kitchens. This team sits closely with the other dev teams who have more of a focus on building enterprise level, backend PHP solutions.

Key challenges for the Website and Marketing team at the moment are:

• Continuing the success of Wren's online presence through the addition of new functionality including:
  • Improved "My Account" functionality to give customers full visibility and control of their orders and allow Wren to deliver the best possible after care
  • Automated refer a friend schemes
  • Building out pages for campaigns and promotions

The successful Senior Web Developer will join at an exciting time for Wren Kitchens and will be pivotal in the success of Wren's online presence in the coming years. The development team are open, collaborative and genuinely forward thinking, encouraging ideas and input from the most junior of developers and expecting input on architectural decisions from those with more experience. If you want to work on a high traffic site using cutting edge PHP / HTML / CSS / JavaScript technology whilst bringing along more junior developers as you do then this is the role for you.
