Job description

A leading service provider to globally renowned automotive brands; highly experienced in Network Auditing, Market Support, Coaching & Training, Analytical & Technical services. The ECS Group prides ourselves on providing a hands-on, always-premium service, working closely with our clients to ensure we are much more than just a business partner, we are an extension of their team.

The Role

We’re looking for a proactive and capable Full Stack Developer who’s ready to take the next step in their career. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role where you’ll have real ownership, the freedom to contribute ideas confidently, and the opportunity to help shape how we build and deliver solutions at ECS.

As a key member of our technical team, you’ll work across both backend and frontend technologies to build new features, enhance existing applications, and ensure our platforms remain secure, reliable, and high‑quality. You’ll collaborate closely with our Lead Developer, the wider tech team, and business stakeholders to deliver software that truly reflects our commitment to setting the standard in our industry.

This role is ideal for someone with solid experience under their belt who now wants more responsibility, more influence, and more room to grow - without the pressure of a senior‑level position. You’ll be encouraged to challenge assumptions, bring fresh ideas, and help drive continuous improvement across our development practices.

Responsibilities

Full Stack Development

• Develop and maintain full‑stack applications using modern frameworks, tools, and technologies.
• Implement clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code across both frontend and backend systems.

• Handle and protect cryptographic keys in accordance with company policy.
• Work with the development team to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical problems.
• Communicate blockers or outstanding development tasks to the Lead Developer in a timely manner.
• Manage your time effectively to meet deadlines; escape early if timelines are at risk.
• Support product releases and deployments following established CI/CD and testing processes.
• Perform additional development‑related duties as required.

Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Follow technical principles, standards, and architecture patterns set by the team.
• Carry out due diligence in all aspects of your work.
• Seek clarity from the Lead Developer whenever uncertain.
• Report any skills gaps or training needs that would support your performance.
• Ensure proposed changes that impact wider infrastructure or services are appropriately reviewed and approved.

You

We’re looking for a reliable developer who takes ownership of their work and thrives in a collaborative engineering environment.

You are:

• Detail‑Oriented & Quality‑Driven – producing clean, maintainable code that stands the test of time.
• Proactive – spotting issues, raising risks early, and seeking improvements.
• Communicative – able to explain technical details clearly to colleagues.
• Security‑Aware – following secure‑by‑design principles in all development work.
• Team‑Focused – contributing to shared standards, knowledge, and best practices.

• Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer or Software Engineer.
• Strong experience with modern frontend and backend frameworks within these languages: C#, TypeScript, MS SQL.
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, databases, and application architecture.
• Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration).
