## Description

We're hiring Full Stack Software Engineers at multiple levels to join an established, fast-growing software business that's embracing AI at pace across its products. This is a back-end-leaning full stack role (C#/.NET) building and shipping features into real products that businesses genuinely depend on - not greenfield throwaway projects.

Just as importantly, you'll be someone who has already used AI tooling in a product-focused environment. That's central to how this team builds, and it's what will set the strongest applicants apart.

With various levels on offer (£45k-£70k), there's genuine scope here whether you're a solid mid-level engineer or an experienced senior., * Build and ship features end-to-end across the stack, back-end leading in C#/.NET

 * Develop clean, modern front ends using contemporary JavaScript
 * Work across SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases
 * Integrate and work alongside AI capability within established product codebases
 * Write production-grade software - error handling, logging, monitoring and sensible fallbacks
 * Fit into existing patterns and pipelines, respecting the code and engineers already there
 * Collaborate with product managers and subject matter experts to properly understand the business problem, not just the technical task
 * Prototype quickly, harden properly, and know which corners can be cut and which can't
