<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I've had to pass up a contracting opportunity that has the potential to be pretty interesting recently, but thought I'd pass the details on to anyone here who might be interested.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The job is for the John Lewis Partnership, via these guys: <a href="http://www.fat-man-collective.com/hello.php">http://www.fat-man-collective.com/hello.php</a>, and it's an internal tool to administer John Lewis's internal perks and rewards scheme for their partners.</div>
<div><br></div><div style>There are several new features that they require, including a mobile UI (Fatman have some really good designers who you'll be able to work closely with on this), and integration with a third-party payment system, as well as a few other things - I've been told that JLP are also really receptive to interesting suggestions for features, and are willing to invest in developing them if they like them, so there's plenty of scope for adding to the project in interesting ways.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>One catch is that their existing codebase has no test coverage, and (based on a cursory browse of their git repo) could do with a fair bit of refactoring - the clients understand this though, and having run them through using cucumber to specify features and test them, they are very enthusiastic about working in a BDD style, and are very happy to pay for some development time to bring the test coverage up to scratch before starting work on the new features.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>If you're interested, then please get in touch with me directly, I'll then pass your details onto my friend at Fatman.</div><div style><br></div><div style>I hope it should go without saying, but NO AGENCIES PLEASE - I'm not actually hiring and firing for these guys, just doing a favour for a friend.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Thanks,</div><div style><br></div><div style>Tim</div><div style><br></div></div>
