Join a fast-moving product team building customer-facing and internal systems used by thousands. We’re looking for a pragmatic Full-Stack Developer who loves shipping well-tested software, designing clean APIs and improving delivery through CI/CD and automation. You’ll work across the stack (C#/.NET ecosystem), collaborate closely with product and QA, and help shape architecture for a cloud-hybrid environment.

What you’ll do

• Design, implement and maintain robust RESTful APIs and services using C# / .NET (MVC / Web API).
• Own full delivery lifecycle: backlog grooming, sprint planning, implementation, code review, testing and deployment.
• Work in a cloud-hybrid setup (Azue/AWS/GCP) helping to design integrations, security boundaries and deployment patterns.
• Implement and evolve CI/CD pipelines (build, test, deploy, infrastructure as code) to speed delivery and reduce risk.
• Collaborate daily with product owners, designers and QA in an Agile team — mentor juniors and share best practices.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform performance tuning and contribute to architecture decisions.

Must-have (essential)

• Strong commercial experience with C# / .NET (MVC, Web API).
• Hands-on experience building RESTful APIs (design, versioning, auth).
• Production experience with JavaScript/Typescript/React (functional components, hooks, routing).
• Practical knowledge of CI/CD tooling and pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Experience working in a cloud hybrid environment (Azure / AWS / GCP + on-prem).
• Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals: unit/integration testing, SOLID principles, Git workflows.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills; comfortable working in Agile ceremonies.
• Based in / willing to travel to the North West for regular office days.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with containerization/orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with Identity/Auth systems (OAuth2 / OpenID Connect / JWT).
• Experience with messaging/eventing platforms (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM templates).
• Front-end testing (Jest, React Testing Library) and TypeScript.
• Domain knowledge in fintech / healthcare / B2B SaaS (optional).

Benefits & culture

• Competitive salary: £50k–£60k plus potential performance bonus.
• Hybrid working model — flexible remote days + collaboration days in the North West office.
• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) + option to buy/sell holidays.
• Clear career progression.
