C# Developer

Are you a C#/.NET developer who enjoys solving technical problems, working with data and supporting real-world applications? I’m looking for a C# Developer to join a small, growing technical team in Stevenage. This is a varied role combining C# development, application support, testing and client-facing technical problem solving. You won’t be spending your days building front-end applications. Instead, you’ll work across data-driven solutions, production requests, troubleshooting, testing and client projects using a Microsoft technology stack as well as building new tools and functionality for clients. It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership of technical problems and wants to see the direct impact of their work. What you’ll be doing

• Develop and maintain applications and solutions using C#/.NET
• Investigate and resolve technical issues through the application support helpdesk
• Work on client production requests and support the regular processing of data
• Test software, investigate bugs and help ensure solutions are reliable before release
• Work with clients and third-party suppliers to resolve technical issues and deliver projects
• Work with XML to process and manipulate data

• Use SQL Server to investigate data, understand relationships and write basic queries, It would be useful if you have experience with one or more of the following: XSL-FO, NoSQL, Data integration involving XML, XPath, CSV or positional files, JSON, ASP.NET MVC, Blazor, .NET Core, Service Layers, REST APIs, PDF layout / typography, LINQ to XML, large scale data processing systems and software development or testing methodologies. You don’t need to have every desirable skill. I’m interested in people who have a strong core C#/.NET background and are comfortable learning new technologies. Why join?

• £35,000-£50,000 salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the Stevenage office and 2 days from home
• Work within a small, growing technical team
• Varied work across development, support, testing and data
• Direct interaction with clients and suppliers
• Opportunity to broaden your Microsoft and data technology skills
• Flat team structure where your ideas and technical input are encouraged

• Good commercial experience developing with C#/.NET
• Strong understanding of programming fundamentals and solving data-driven problems
• Experience working with XML
• Working knowledge of SQL Server including tables, relationships and basic queries
• Previous experience in providing support to paying clients
• Experience troubleshooting technical issues and working to deadlines
• A methodical approach to testing and problem solving with strong attention to detail
• Good communication skills and the ability to work directly with clients and suppliers to interpret & validate data, information and language, This role would suit a developer who enjoys more than writing code. You’ll be someone who likes understanding why something isn’t working, investigating the underlying data, finding a solution and seeing it through to completion. You’ll be comfortable switching between development, testing, support and client conversations, and happy working as part of a small team where everyone has a voice. If you’re looking for a pure front-end or full-stack development role where most of your time is spent building new UI features, this probably won’t be the right fit. If you enjoy C#, technical problem solving, data, application support and variety, I’d be interested in hearing from you.
