Job description

We're working with a global technology business that provides mission-critical monitoring and dispatch software used across 20+ countries. Their platform supports everything from small monitoring centres to large control rooms managing critical infrastructure like banks, hospitals, and government facilities.

As the business continues to grow, they're looking for a Software Engineer to join their team. This is a broad, hands-on engineering role working across a mix of C#/.NET, React, TypeScript, SQL Server and cloud infrastructure, with plenty of opportunity to get involved outside a narrow area of the stack.

The team is small, collaborative and fairly non-siloed. They're open on level from a strong junior through to mid-senior, and care more about technical fundamentals, problem-solving ability and learning speed than someone ticking every technology box.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain software used in high-availability, mission-critical environments
• Work across backend, frontend, databases and cloud infrastructure
• Develop predominantly in C#/.NET, alongside React and TypeScript
• Contribute to new SaaS products and the continued modernisation of existing systems
• Investigate and resolve production issues where reliability and uptime are critical
• Take ownership of features and technical problems from design through to deliveryContribute to architectural and development decisions within a small engineering team
• Get exposure to AWS and cloud-hosted environments
• Use AI development tools, including Claude Code, as part of the engineering workflow

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving ability
• Experience in C# / .NET, Java, or similar
• Comfortable working across different areas of a product rather than being highly siloed
• Experience working with production systems and debugging technical issues
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have:

• React and TypeScript
• SQL Server or other relational database experience
• Experience with high-availability, resilient or mission-critical systems
• Experience using AI coding tools such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot

Why Apply?

• Meaningful work: Build software that supports critical monitoring and emergency response systems
• Broad ownership: Work across backend, frontend, cloud and infrastructure rather than being boxed into one area
• Modern engineering practices: Join a team actively experimenting with AI-assisted development
• Strong team culture: Collaborative, social engineering team with a mix of experienced and newer engineers
• Real autonomy: Good ideas are encouraged, and engineers are trusted to take ownership and run with them

If you're a strong problem-solver who enjoys working across different parts of a system and wants more ownership than you'd typically get in a larger engineering team, this is a great opportunity to work on software where reliability genuinely matters.
