Job description

Software Engineer (.NET / Azure) – Manchester / Hybrid / up to £80k

Ready to build something that actually works — and keeps getting better?

This team owns one of the core systems that keeps everything running behind the scenes. You’ll be developing new features, refining existing logic, and helping evolve a platform that thousands rely on daily.

It’s the kind of work that rewards curiosity — solving complex problems, improving reliability, and finding smarter ways to do things. You’ll get support when you need it, but plenty of freedom to take ownership and learn as you go.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Developing and enhancing .NET Core services hosted in Azure.
• Creating new features that drive efficiency and improve the customer experience.
• Collaborating with other engineers, testers, and product teams to deliver quality code fast.
• Improving performance, reliability, and maintainability across a large distributed system.
• Writing clean, testable, well-structured code (TDD, SOLID principles).

What We’re Looking For:

• Familiar with Azure cloud services and modern development pipelines.
• Someone who enjoys digging into logic, finding the ‘why’, and improving what’s already there.
• Comfortable working independently but always up for learning from others.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Meaningful Work – You’ll help shape the backbone of a platform used by thousands.
• Growth – The team values learning and will invest in your development.
• Flexibility – Manchester-based with hybrid working options.
• Package – Up to £80k + benefits (pension, medical, life assurance).

Join a team where you’ll be trusted to get things done, supported to keep learning, and see the real impact of what you build.
