About Us
We’re approaching our tenth birthday and have grown from being a little-known tech start-up to creating a vibrant community at the heart of Greater Manchester’s tech and digital epicentre.
Our name, Naimuri, means "not overburden" in Japanese, reflecting our principles across technology, processes, infrastructure, culture, and leadership. At this place, we empower teams to make the right decisions, explore new ways of working, and foster a bias-free collaborative culture. This allows everyone to bring forth the finest ideas and solutions within an agile environment.
Our business is built on four pillars—wellbeing, empowerment, perpetual edge, and delivery. With people and culture at our core, we aim to realise our mission: making the UK a safer place.
About the Role
Working across a variety of projects (ranging from weeks to 5+ years), you'll own the overall technical solution and guide its delivery—reducing risk while improving project outcomes.
