Our Team: How we enrich everyday life
You’ll be joining the Bauer UK IT Business Applications team - the specialists behind SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365 and supporting .NET platforms that power critical business operations across our publishing and audio brands.
Sitting within Bauer IT, this team designs, develops and supports SharePoint-based business applications that enable colleagues across editorial, commercial, finance and operations to work efficiently and securely. From modernising legacy integrations to enhancing Microsoft 365 solutions, we ensure our technology estate is stable, scalable and aligned to business needs.
Working closely with Business Analysts, Project Managers, the IT Service Desk and infrastructure teams, we deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining operational excellence - helping Bauer teams focus on creating content and services that enrich everyday life.

This includes delivering new functionality, maintaining existing solutions, and providing third-line support in partnership with the wider IT team.

- Provide technical support across .NET and SharePoint Online systems owned by the team.
- Investigate and resolve incidents and service requests via the IT Service Desk, ensuring clear documentation.
- Maintain and monitor integration infrastructure including Linux file servers (Samba/DFS), cron jobs, Windows Task Scheduler and SFTP/SSHFS-mounted backups.
- Support migration and decommissioning of legacy systems.
- Coordinate with Linux administration, Global Cloud teams and Finance application owners on access management, SSH key rotation, SSRS schedule migration and service sign-off.
- Engage proactively with stakeholders to communicate progress, risks and decisions.
The Skills you will bring
Essential:
- Strong SharePoint Online development experience, including SPFx (TypeScript, React, Node.js)
- Strong understanding of object-oriented programming principles.
- Power Platform (Power Apps and Power Automate) development, support and administration.
- PowerShell automation and troubleshooting skills.
- Working knowledge of SQL for querying and integration support.
- Experience using version control systems (e.g. Git) and modern development tools (e.g. Visual Studio).
Desirable:
- Commercial experience with C# / ASP.NET and modern web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
- Systems integration experience using REST/JSON APIs and web services.
- Dynamics CRM customisation/development (plugins, workflows).
- Experience supporting Linux/Windows integration infrastructure (cron, SSH/SFTP, Samba/DFS, SSRS scheduling).
You will also bring:
- Clear communication skills and a customer-focused mindset.
- A proactive, adaptable approach - comfortable balancing delivery and support.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
- A calm, professional approach to incident management.
- A commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
