WHAT YOU WILL DO

The Senior Software Developer is a hands‑on, technically experienced engineer responsible for designing, building, and maintaining business‑critical software across both legacy on‑premise systems and modern web platforms. This role balances the maintenance and evolution of existing C#/.NET, WPF, WCF, and SQL‑based applications with the delivery of new functionality using modern .NET, web, and front‑end technologies.

The Senior Software Developer works with a high degree of autonomy, contributes to technical decision‑making, mentors other engineers, and helps drive improvements in code quality, system reliability, and engineering practices. This is a technical role with no formal line‑management responsibility.

• Design, develop, test, and maintain software across legacy on‑premise systems and modern web‑based applications.
• Build and enhance solutions using C#, SQL Server, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core, and modern .NET versions.
• Maintain, refactor, and modernise existing WPF and WCF applications where appropriate.

Develop and support React based web front ends in collaboration with Product and UX stakeholders.

Design and implement RESTful APIs and service based integrations.

Ensure software solutions are secure, scalable, maintainable, and well documented.

Provide technical leadership through mentoring, code reviews, and setting engineering best practices.

Contribute to technical design, estimation, and architectural discussions, acting as an escalation point for complex issues.

Identify, prioritise, and reduce technical debt and operational risk.

Work effectively within Agile delivery processes, collaborating closely with QA, DevOps, and cross functional teams.
