Summary

What we do

As developers for Pres Les, we design, build and maintain a wide variety of systems. Pres Les is a Direct Selling company that focuses on elite products for the home and since Pres Les runs the entire value chain, the developers get to be involved in systems related to manufacturing, distribution, online services, order services, consultants services, financial services and more.

Our website is designed to attract potential consultants and thus does not convey the extent of the software we have nor does it reflect the development environment you would be involved in.

Why Work For Us

You will be exposed to a wide range of projects and maintenance tasks all along the value chain and is a great way to experience more than one type of business system.

We love and live Agile. We use SCRUM for our projects while using KANBAN for maintenance and support tasks. Agile is fully entrenched in our way of doing things and we are better for it.

Our technology stack is industry standard with primary focus on web-based front-ends (MVC, Domain Driven Design, SQL Server, Entity Framework, MVP and Web Forms) and windows services (MVP, Domain Driven Design, Entity Framework, SQL Server) for asynchronous processes. We are moving towards a service based architecture using .net core and web apis. We pride ourselves on a solid and evolving stack that we build using Test Driven Design principles. This, coupled with our Agile and Integration processes, means our systems have an extremely low bug rate and thus happy users.

In addition to this, Pres Les is a stable and extremely successful business with over 40 years of proven worth. This business is continuing to thrive and take on new challenges. It rewards it's staff well for hard work and loyalty.

Our Culture

Pres Les has always been a people focused business, inside and out. People are treated like people, not numbers. Our developers are encouraged to grow and learn as much as they can. We enjoy our relationships with each other and a helpful attitude is very important to us.

Our Hiring Process

Developers will go through a 2 hour assessment after which face to face interviews will be done.
