Job Description

You'll be joining a team of experienced senior developers, collaborating day-to-day on the design, build, and delivery of robust full-stack solutions for enterprise clients. This role focuses on peer collaboration, managing architectural decisions, code quality, and mentoring.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions on new and existing systems.
• Translate client business requirements into well‑documented technical solutions, including preparing system design documents.

• Take responsibility for code quality — perform code reviews, uphold coding standards, and champion unit testing and automated testing practices.
• Mentor and support junior and intermediate developers, sharing knowledge through pairing, reviews, and technical guidance.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle: requirements gathering, estimation, implementation, deployment, and post‑release support.
• Work directly with clients in the health sectors to troubleshoot issues, scope enhancements, and deliver responsive service.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices, including CI/CD, source control workflows, and DevOps tooling.
• Help the team safely and effectively adopt modern productivity tools, including AI‑assisted development tools where appropriate.

• Experience with automated testing frameworks (xUnit, NUnit, or similar).
• Exposure to, or practical experience with, AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) for accelerating coding, reviews, or testing would be a bonus.
• The ability to work effectively both individually and as part of a team — accepting personal accountability and displaying a commitment to collaborate.
• Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to prepare system design documents for a client and explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
