• Remain hands-on with C# / .NET, designing and developing scalable backend services and APIs.
• Support the evolution of the frontend using Vue.js and modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Drive the modernisation of legacy applications and improve overall platform architecture.
• Champion engineering best practices across clean code, automated testing, CI/CD and production reliability.
• Embed AI-assisted and agentic development workflows into day-to-day engineering, including code generation, refactoring, testing and documentation.
• Mentor and coach developers through technical discussions, code reviews and collaborative problem-solving.
• Work closely with Product and Platform teams to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.

What We're Looking For

• Strong commercial experience with C# / .NET Core / .NET 6–8.
• Previous experience as a Technical Lead, Lead Developer or Senior Software Engineer with technical leadership responsibilities.
• Experience with modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js, React or Angular.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, SOLID principles and engineering best practices.
• Experience delivering software within Agile/Scrum environments.
• Good knowledge of cloud technologies, CI/CD, automated testing and production systems.
• Experience mentoring developers and driving technical standards.
• Strong practical experience with AI developer tools, ideally including agentic AI workflows, AI-assisted coding, automated testing and code review.

Experience within a SaaS environment, modernising legacy platforms or working with Docker and cloud infrastructure would be advantageous.

What's on Offer?

• £85,000 salary
• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in Manchester
• 25 days annual leave plus your birthday off
• Enhanced pension and family leave benefits
• Life insurance and company sick pay
• Personal training and development allowance
