Senior Software Engineer

Description:

As a Senior Software Developer, you’ll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining reliable, scalable software that supports customers in managing and growing their businesses. You’ll write clean, maintainable code, contribute ideas to future development, and play a key role in delivering development sprints to agreed timelines.

You’ll support and motivate an agile development team, helping to coordinate sprint activity, complete code reviews, and ensure stories are delivered to a high standard. Alongside your hands-on development work, you’ll coach others, share knowledge, and help raise the overall technical capability of the team.

Strong communication is essential. You’ll work closely with developers, testers, business analysts, and stakeholders, confidently discussing stories, processes, and low-level architecture with both technical and non-technical audiences.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll design and implement feature enhancements, maintenance updates, and new technical capabilities across the platform, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and future-proof. You’ll build and maintain server-side services, APIs, and databases that support client-side applications, while analysing issues across multiple layers of the system to identify and resolve root causes.

You’ll take ownership of sprint and release activity, helping to plan, prioritise, and coordinate work based on risk, dependencies, and delivery timelines. Code quality will be a key focus, with regular code reviews, documentation creation, and adherence to best-practice development standards.

Throughout your work, you’ll demonstrate ownership, accountability, and strong decision-making, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality outcomes.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll have strong commercial experience with ASP.NET using C# in .NET Core or .NET 6, alongside solid experience with ASP.NET, MVC, Web APIs, Git-based version control, HTML, JavaScript, and Microsoft SQL Server. You’ll bring a strong theoretical and practical understanding of modern software development principles, including security best practices.

Experience with front-end technologies such as React, Blazor, or legacy AngularJS will be beneficial, as will familiarity with Entity Framework, Kibana, Grafana, test-driven development, and agile ways of working. Exposure to event-driven platforms, microservices architecture, containerisation, Kubernetes, or Microsoft Azure would be an advantage.

Beyond technical skills, you’ll be proactive, organised, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. You’ll communicate clearly and professionally, contribute confidently in meetings, and build strong working relationships across teams. A commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing is essential.
