## Description

The opportunity We're looking for a Senior Developer/engineer who's genuinely ready for a senior role - someone who can own the full software lifecycle, shape technical direction, and raise the bar for the team around them. This isn't a stepping stone. It's a role where your experience and instincts will matter from day one. You'll be working on platform systems that power one of the UK's biggest gaming sites - everything built in-house, with real complexity and real stakes. You'll be expected to drive quality, influence architecture decisions, and be a technical reference point for your peers. But you'll also be coding - we're not looking for someone who's stepped too far from the work. The best senior developers here do both. What you'll be doing - Owning the full software delivery lifecycle - from requirements through to production - Designing and delivering robust, scalable solutions in C# across tombola's platform - Driving engineering standards - code quality, testing
