Looking to contribute to cloud-based development in a role where your voice shapes the solution?

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

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

Responsibilities:

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

About you:

1. 5+ years’ commercial software development experience
2. Proven background in C#, .NET Core, and cloud technologies
3. Solid front-end experience with Angular and JavaScript/TypeScript
4. Knowledge of secure coding principles, clean architecture, and modern design patterns
5. Familiarity with SQL Server, microservices, REST APIs, Docker and Git
6. A collaborative, proactive mindset—comfortable taking the lead when required

Desirable:

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

Why apply?

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

Benefits:

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