Job description

Most developer roles ask you to ship tickets into a product backlog. This one is different.

Our client is an independent, partner-led professional services firm in the City of London. Their Technology team builds the applications, automations and integrations that the rest of the business actually uses every day - the tools that help people work well, from anywhere.

They’re looking for a Software Developer who wants to solve real operational problems, not just write code in isolation.

The Role:

You’ll join a collaborative internal Technology team and work across the full development lifecycle: understanding what colleagues need, building or improving the solution, testing it, releasing it, and supporting it once it’s live.

A lot of the work sits in the modern Microsoft stack - SQL, Azure, Microsoft 365 and Power Platform - but you’ll also pick up older systems, improve them, and sometimes rewrite them. If you like variety, ownership and seeing your work used by real people, this will suit you.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop, test and maintain applications, components and integrations
• Work with colleagues across the firm to turn business problems into practical technical solutions
• Build and improve web applications, services and automated processes
• Investigate and resolve live application issues
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, planning and releases
• Apply secure-by-design thinking and the firm’s information security standards
• Look for ways to remove repetitive manual work through automation
• Share knowledge, take ownership of your work, and keep learning

What We’re Looking For:

• At least one year’s experience in software development, application support, or a related technical role
• Working knowledge of one or more of Python, Java, C/C++, SQL, or similar
• Experience with databases and data-driven applications
• Familiarity with APIs, web technologies (including HTML and CSS), and how applications fit together
• Exposure to source control, testing, and ideally DevOps or CI/CD
• Interest in automation, AI or low-code tools
• Clear communication, including with non-technical users who may be under pressure
• A methodical, ownership-led way of working, and a genuine interest in making things better
• Experience in professional services, or supporting internal users rather than external product customers, would be a strong plus.
