About WDR Limited

WDR is a bespoke learning and development consultancy, delivering innovative learning solutions across multiple sectors. We’re evolving our next-generation Learning Management System (LMS), a rich platform supporting everything from course planning and booking to attendance, evaluation, and certification.

About the Role

We are looking for a talented and adaptable Full Stack Software Developer who is comfortable working across both front-end and back-end components. You’ll be joining a small, technically focused team delivering a modern web platform.

The system is deployed across multiple Linux servers and managed using DevOps pipelines and AWX (Ansible playbooks). The backend is written in C# using gRPC services exposed via a Web API gateway, backed by a MySQL database. The front end is built with Vite and React.

While full stack skills are essential, we are especially interested in candidates who bring strong React and/or AWX/Ansible experience to complement existing team strengths.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain responsive, component-based user interfaces using React + Vite.
• Build scalable, service-oriented back-end features using .NET, gRPC, and Web API.
• Work with Entity Framework and MySQL to design and query robust data models.
• Contribute to AWX/Ansible playbooks and DevOps pipelines for deployment automation.
• Participate in code reviews and collaborate with peers to ensure quality and maintainability.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key Requirements

• Proven experience with C#, .NET Core, and Entity Framework.
• Experience with React (preferably with Vite), building modern UIs.
• Good understanding of gRPC, REST APIs, and microservice architectures.
• Proficiency in MySQL and writing efficient database queries.
• Comfortable with Linux environments and command-line tooling.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to delivery.

Desirable Skills

• Experience working with AWX, Ansible playbooks, and infrastructure automation.
• Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, especially in a Linux/Hyper-V context.
• Exposure to SaaS platforms or scalable web applications.
• Interest in mentoring others or improving team skills in React or automation.

Benefits

• £40,000 – £65,000 salary (depending on experience)
• Company pension scheme
• Free on-site parking
• Potential for hybrid work after probation
• Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge internal platform with modern tools

Location Requirement

This role is primarily office-based in Horsham. Applicants must be able to reliably commute or plan to relocate prior to starting.
