Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth. Buddy Advisory is proud to be partnering with Business Automation Works (BAW), a fast-growing business delivering smart automation solutions to the financial services sector, including accounting practices. By replacing manual, time-consuming processes with smarter, more innovative ways of working, BAW lifts productivity and job satisfaction, freeing practice managers, partners, and admin staff to focus on what matters most: client relationships and engagement.

The responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain front-end features and components in React, delivering high-quality user experiences across BAW's product suite
• Contribute to .NET backend services, APIs, authentication and logging patterns, and shared, reusable application components
• Build and maintain data ingestion, transformation and processing workflows, ensuring reliable, high-quality data movement across systems

The requirements

• Strong, current ReactJS/front-end experience, mandatory. (.NET/C# and SQL Server backend experience highly regarded)
• Comfortable moving across the front end and into APIs, background processing and data workflows, not siloed to one layer of the stack
• A high-agency, ownership mindset; you think commercially and about customer impact, not just technology for its own sake
• Genuine curiosity and energy for AI-assisted tooling, ideally backed by professional and personal builds
• Comfort with breadth, ambiguity and switching context across many systems, without needing a manual to get things done
• Good collaboration and communication skills, comfortable pairing with and supporting other engineers

Why join
