Location: Nottinghamshire

Working Arrangement: Hybrid 2 days/week in the office
Salary: Up to £65k

You re a hands-on Senior Software Developer who enjoys solving complex problems, shaping technical direction, and seeing your ideas make a real impact. This role gives you the chance to take ownership of a mature software platform while directly influencing its future roadmap and delivering meaningful new functionality used by real customers.

You ll work in an agile environment where your experience matters. From sprint planning through to delivery, you ll be trusted to make sound technical decisions, build robust solutions, and help guide the team toward high-quality outcomes. This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, technical depth, and being relied upon.

Your Role

As a Senior Software Developer, you ll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining reliable, scalable software that supports customers in managing and growing their businesses. You ll write clean, maintainable code, contribute ideas to future development, and play a key role in delivering development sprints to agreed timelines.

You ll support and motivate an agile development team, helping to coordinate sprint activity, complete code reviews, and ensure stories are delivered to a high standard. Alongside your hands‑on development work, you ll coach others, share knowledge, and help raise the overall technical capability of the team.

Strong communication is essential. You ll work closely with developers, testers, business analysts, and stakeholders, confidently discussing stories, processes, and low-level architecture with both technical and non-technical audiences.

What You ll Be Doing

You ll design and implement feature enhancements, maintenance updates, and new technical capabilities across the platform, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and future-proof. You ll build and maintain server-side services, APIs, and databases that support client-side applications, while analysing issues across multiple layers of the system to identify and resolve root causes.

You ll take ownership of sprint and release activity, helping to plan, prioritise, and coordinate work based on risk, dependencies, and delivery timelines. Code quality will be a key focus, with regular code reviews, documentation creation, and adherence to best-practice development standards.

Throughout your work, you ll demonstrate ownership, accountability, and strong decision-making, while collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver high-quality outcomes.

What You ll Bring

You ll have strong commercial experience with ASP.NET using C# in .NET Core or .NET 6, alongside solid experience with ASP.NET, MVC, Web APIs, Git-based version control, HTML, JavaScript, and Microsoft SQL Server. You ll bring a strong theoretical and practical understanding of modern software development principles, including security best practices.

Experience with front-end technologies such as React, Blazor, or legacy AngularJS will be beneficial, as will familiarity with Entity Framework, Kibana, Grafana, test-driven development, and agile ways of working. Exposure to event-driven platforms, microservices architecture, containerisation, Kubernetes, or Microsoft Azure would be an advantage.

Beyond technical skills, you ll be proactive, organised, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. You ll communicate clearly and professionally, contribute confidently in meetings, and build strong working relationships across teams. A commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing is essential.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to step into a senior, hands‑on role where your expertise genuinely matters. You ll influence technical direction, take real ownership of delivery, and work in an environment that supports growth, learning, and continuous improvement. If you re looking for a role that balances challenge, responsibility, and long-term progression, this could be the right move for you.
