Job description

You will work across systems built using C#, .NET, relational databases, and modern web and mobile technologies. The role involves delivering new features, extending existing applications, and helping shape practical software solutions from design through to delivery. This role is best suited to someone with around 2–5 years of commercial development experience, though we’re happy to hear from strong candidates outside that range. If you enjoy solving practical problems, building reliable software, and learning your way across web, mobile, and data-driven systems, you’ll fit right in. We’re looking for someone who can contribute confidently now and continue growing in range and responsibility over time. The role is broad, but the core environment is Microsoft-based, spanning backend services, data, and user-facing applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Build new features and enhancements across the application stack, working from user stories, tickets, and design input.
• Improve and extend existing systems through bug fixing, refactoring, and incremental design improvements.
• Contribute to testing, code review, and delivery of production-ready software.
• Take part in estimation and planning discussions, helping the team understand scope and technical considerations.
• Understand and work within the team's architectures, tooling, and processes.
• Work with application data and SQL queries to support features, troubleshoot issues, and maintain reliable system behaviour.

Skills & Experience

Required

• Commercial experience developing applications using C# across .NET and .NET framework.
• Experience working with relational databases, including SQL Server, with confidence writing queries, understanding data structures, and troubleshooting data issues.
• Willingness to work across databases, APIs, web, and mobile applications, building your capability across the wider stack.
• Ability to take ownership of development tasks, write maintainable code, and work through issues methodically using sound judgement and debugging tools.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working with technical and non-technical colleagues.
• Experience with Blazor or other modern web UI frameworks.
• Hands‑on experience with an ORM such as Entity Framework.
• Exposure to automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to .NET MAUI, Xamarin, or other cross‑platform mobile technologies.
• Experience with embedded or lightweight databases.
• Familiarity with Jira and Confluence for tracking work and sharing documentation.
• A track record of contributing to technical documentation such as wikis, process guides, or technical notes.
• A desire to keep learning and grow in confidence across technical design, implementation, and wider engineering discussions over time.
