This is your chance to join a forward-thinking software team making a genuine impact in UK public safety, working for a family-run software house.

This hybrid Senior Developer position is perfect for someone who wants to build secure, scalable applications, lead by example, and enjoy autonomy in architectural decisions.

The opportunity:

You will be joining a close-knit development team with a proud reputation for engineering quality, collaboration, and trust. This is a backfill for a valued colleague, so you will step straight into live projects with clear ownership and influence.

You will be focused around 70% backend and 30% frontend tasks, using a modern Microsoft stack alongside cloud-native tooling (primarily AWS). You will mentor junior developers, support full lifecycle delivery, and bring ideas to life, balancing legacy modernisation with brand-new product development.

Responsibilities:

• Designing, developing, and deploying secure, cloud-first applications in high-trust environments
• Working with C#, .NET Core, Angular, and AWS across multiple projects
• Writing clean, testable code and implementing CI/CD pipelines
• Collaborating with Product Owners, QA, and Dev colleagues to shape scalable solutions
• Reviewing code, mentoring others, and promoting engineering best practices
• Exploring automation and AI tools to improve efficiency and test coverage

About you:

• 5+ years of commercial software development experience
• Proven background in C#, .NET Core, and cloud technologies
• Solid front-end experience with Angular and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Knowledge of secure coding principles, clean architecture, and modern design patterns
• Familiarity with SQL Server, microservices, REST APIs, Docker, and Git
• A collaborative, proactive mindset comfortable taking the lead when required

Desirable:

• Experience modernising legacy systems
• Exposure to AI-assisted development or DevOps tooling
• Familiarity with TDD or automated testing frameworks
• Knowledge of Azure, OAuth/OIDC, or Python

Why apply?

• Play a key role in building trusted SaaS solutions used in national policing
• Join a respected, stable business where your work is valued
• Be empowered to shape engineering direction, tooling, and practices
• Work in a hybrid model with a supportive, collaborative team culture

Benefits:

• Permanent role
• Salary £55,000 - £65,000, depending on experience
• Hybrid working: 2 days a week in-office (Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Coalville, Leicestershire)
• Contributory pension scheme, holiday allowance, ongoing professional development, free onsite parking

Due to the nature of the work, you must be eligible to obtain Security Clearance.
