You'll be reporting into a locally based Lead Developer while working very closely with UK-based Product and Engineering teams. Together, you'll be building and evolving a large-scale Automotive Intelligence Platform used by retailers and OEMs across global markets.

• Contributing to architecture and technical decision‑making alongside senior peers
• Writing clean, scalable, and well‑tested code that holds up at enterprise scale
• Modernising legacy code
• Working closely with Product, QA, and Engineering colleagues across regions
• Helping uphold and improve engineering standards, practices, and code quality
• Supporting a growing engineering hub as it matures and scales

The Tech Environment

• C# and .NET / .NET Core
• SQL / T-SQL
• Azure (cloud services, hosting, integrations)
• APIs and system integrations within a SaaS environment

What They're Looking For

• Strong commercial experience as a Senior Software Developer
• Deep hands‑on knowledge of C#, .NET and SQL (optimization, stored procedures, SQL profiler)
• Experience building or supporting scalable SaaS or enterprise‑scale platforms
• Solid experience working with Azure‑hosted applications
• Proven background building APIs and third‑party integrations
• Comfortable contributing across backend and frontend when needed with Razor
• Someone who enjoys ownership, problem‑solving, and working at scale
• Experience working with distributed or international, large teams is a bonus
