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 delivery


• Contribute 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

Essential:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving ability


• Solid backend development experience


• 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:

• C# / .NET experience


• React and TypeScript


• SQL Server or other relational database experience


• AWS or Azure exposure


• Experience with high-availability, resilient or mission-critical systems


• DevOps / infrastructure experience


• 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.
