About the role

In this role you’ll work within our ResourceLink Bespoke development team as a PROIV Software Engineer. You’ll be hands on and get involved in the design, development and maintenance of ResourceLink in an agile environment. With your passion for technology, you’ll be key to the development of our current and future product to make a real impact for our customers.

For those who are looking to transition from a Payroll/HR professional role to a Software Engineering role (working on HR & Payroll products) we still want to hear from you, as we’ll provide you with adequate training to make you successful.

Why work for us?

We are leaders in HR and Payroll. Our purpose is to power exceptional employee experiences so that our customers and their people do better. Our multi-award-winning products pay over five million employees a year, with almost half (42%) of the FTSE 100, 50% of the top retailers and 30% of the top universities in the UK & Ireland as customers, making us the largest provider of Payroll and HR software and managed services.

Whether you’re passionate about all things payroll, dedicated to customer delivery, or a true techie who’s ready to work across a myriad of cutting-edge solutions, we have a place for you.

You'll ideally be based close to our office in Bristol, to enable you to work on a hybrid basis and collaborate in person with colleagues across the product and technology teams. However, we can offer flexibility between office and home working.

Sounds good? Here's what you’ll be doing:

* Designing and maintaining new features based on client requirements.

* Designing bespoke solutions and producing detailed estimates for the work required.

* Producing detailed technical specifications and unit test plans for bespoke solutions.

* Engineering the bespoke solution, as per the agreed technical specification, in PROIV.

* Experience of ResourceLink products, or worked within the HR/Payroll software industry.

* A technical mind, good with systems with an interest in moving your career into a Developer-type role.

* A passion for making things better and confident to suggest improvements to procedures.

* Communicates both technical and non-technical information effectively, depending upon the audience.

* Tooling: PROIV VIP / SQL Development Manager / Azure DevOps.

* Platforms: Unix / Linux / AIX / MS Windows Server / Azure.

About us

Zellis is the leading provider of payroll and HR solutions for the UK & Ireland. Together with Benefex and Moorepay we form the Zellis Group, serving a vast array of companies across every vertical and industry.

After acquiring Benefex, we’re now even better equipped to serve the complex needs of our customers.

Our vision is to be the clear leader in pay, reward, analytics, and people experiences. We’re proud of our culture and we work hard to create an environment where people want to join, belong to, and be part of a progressive organisation.
