Software Developer

A growing software business is looking for a collaborative, hands-on Senior Software Developer to join its established development team.

This is a great opportunity to work across a portfolio of digital products, including platforms within the contracts, project management and document management space. With a strong delivery pipeline and several products in development, you’ll be involved in a varied mix of greenfield and existing-product work.

You’ll join a close-knit development function within a successful SME, working alongside developers, testers and senior stakeholders. While this is not a formal people-management role, you will have the opportunity to provide technical guidance, share knowledge and help shape development best practice.

The role

• Build and enhance full-stack software products across a varied product portfolio
• Work across the full development lifecycle, including coding, code reviews, testing, releases and cloud delivery
• Contribute to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, ticket refinement and technical discussions
• Help break down larger features and balance delivery priorities with technical debt
• Support and mentor other developers through knowledge sharing, reviews and best practice
• Collaborate closely with QA to develop and improve manual and automated testing practices
• Engage with stakeholders to understand product requirements and business priorities
• Explore and use AI-enabled development tools responsibly to improve ways of working

• Strong commercial experience as a full-stack software developer
• Proven experience with .NET, ideally modern versions
• Front-end development experience with Angular; candidates with strong React or transferable front-end skills will also be considered
• Experience with Entity Framework or comparable back-end/data-access technologies
• Azure experience is desirable, although AWS or Google Cloud exposure is also relevant
• Good understanding of cloud development, DevOps, testing and release processes
• Previous experience of mentoring, technical leadership, code reviews, planning or technical-debt management
• A genuine interest in AI tools and their responsible use in software development
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams

About you
