We’re reshaping our Digital, Technology and Data function for the future, creating new opportunities, strengthening our capability, and building clearer, more resilient ways of working so we can deliver even better services for our Co-op, our colleagues, members and customers.
Why this role matters
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Funeralcare team to help us transform how we design, build, and operate Co-op applications and systems – building APIs and pulling together data from across the business using Salesforce core platforms. At Co-op, collaboration is part of who we are. We’ll provide you with career and technical coaching, and we run communities of practice to support our colleagues’ learning and development.
What you’ll do
• Work collaboratively to build, maintain, and support Co-op applications and systems
• Develop software iteratively and up to a high standard
• Share your knowledge and experiences with colleagues as part of our Engineering communities of practice sessions
• Resolve technical challenges, making sure that solutions fulfil our business objectives
What you’ll bring
We’re committed to making our roles as accessible as possible, so we only ask for the minimum criteria. To thrive here, you’ll need to bring:
• Experience in a hands-on Software Engineering role, implementing and maintaining applications and services
• Experience using various Salesforce products (e.g. Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Commerce Cloud etc)
• Experiences of tooling and practices for automated build, integration, and deployment, as well as delivering iteratively towards an end goal
• Good collaboration skills, with the ability to work in pairs and/or ensembles and with TDD
We know that some candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t meet all the criteria in the job description. At Co-op, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you'd like to apply for this role but your experience doesn't quite meet every point, we'd still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.

We’re an organisation that puts people and communities first, and we’re powered by purpose. We want this to be a place where you can thrive, so you’ll also receive:
• An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
• 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
• A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
• Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
• 30% discount on Co-op products and 10% off other brands
• Stream – early access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
• Virtual healthcare including GP appointments, mental health support, nutrition and fitness advice
• 24/7 colleague support service
• Training and support for your development and career progression
