The core requirements:

• Strong commercial-grade C# software development with awareness of modern .NET, how to get the most from the language, and establish good patterns and factoring.
• Microservice development experience - with good service factoring to reduce bloat, increase independence and separate concerns - and RESTful API design and development.
• Strong communication skills to liaise with colleagues in other product teams.
• A good technical degree from a top university, backed by strong A-level grades.
