Job Summary

Royal London is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join one of our application delivery teams within the Digital space at Royal London.

This role is focused on modern software and application engineering: designing, building and operating customer-facing and internal digital services with a strong emphasis on Azure-based application development using Angular and C#/.NET.

You will be a senior member of a cross-functional squad, contributing to solution design and delivery while remaining hands-on. You will build high-quality, secure and resilient applications, support engineering best practice, and help develop less experienced engineers through mentoring and collaboration.

This is an application-focused role, working closely with product, architecture, cloud and mobile teams to deliver valuable outcomes for customers and colleagues.

About the role

• Design, build, test and operate Angular front-end and C#/.NET back-end services deployed in Azure.
• Contribute to technical design and impact assessments for changes to new and existing applications.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation to the required standards.
• Apply engineering best practices, including clean code, automated testing and observability.
• Work closely with Architects, Testers, Product Owners, Analysts and stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Support the day-to-day operation of live applications, including incident investigation, troubleshooting and resolution.
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions, helping to maintain engineering standards across the squad.
• Mentor and support other engineers, contributing to a positive and collaborative engineering culture.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of software engineering practices within the wider Digital engineering community.

About you

You are an experienced software engineer who enjoys designing and building well-engineered applications. You care deeply about software quality, security, resilience and operability, and you take pride in delivering maintainable solutions.

You are comfortable balancing:

• Technical design and software development.
• Delivery of high-quality outcomes.
• Problem solving and continuous improvement.
• Supporting and mentoring engineers within the team.

You thrive in a collaborative, product-focused environment where engineering judgement matters.

• Strong software engineering background, with experience delivering solutions across the full application development lifecycle.
• Proven experience designing, building and maintaining modern web applications with strong expertise in either Angular (or similar front-end frameworks) or C#/.NET, and working knowledge of the complementary stack.
• Strong experience building and running applications in Azure cloud environments, with an emphasis on application-level design, resilience and security.
• Strong understanding of API-driven and service-based architecture.
• Experience using CI/CD pipelines to build, test and deploy application code safely and repeatedly.
• Strong focus on application quality including testing, performance, security, resilience and operational readiness.
• Ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions within an established architectural framework.
• Experience supporting and mentoring engineers at different career stages.
• A mindset of continuous improvement, actively developing your own skills and contributing to engineering best practice.

Nice to Have

• Experience with common Azure services used in application delivery, such as App Services, Functions, Storage, Key Vault and Application Insights.
• Experience with API Management (e.g. Azure APIM) as part of application integration.
• Exposure to mobile application development (iOS, Android and/or cross-platform frameworks) or experience supporting mobile apps via backend services.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Bicep or Terraform).
• Experience building and supporting applications in regulated or security-conscious environments.
