Do you want to work in a company that is big enough to have well-established career paths, small enough to know that all your work makes a real, material difference, and prides itself on not only some of the best tech talent around, but a culture to match?

If not, why not?!

I love recruiting for this company, and I’m sure you’ll love working there.

I am looking for a Principal Software Developer to join a small team of 3 highly proficient, friendly people, consisting of; a team leader, mid-level dev, and you.

Please note that this is an individual contributor role, which means that you will provide technical direction to the team you’re in, but you will not be responsible for the wellbeing of the team; that is in the remit of your peer- the Team Leader of your team.

As an experienced and highly capable Software Developer, well-versed in modern software development best practice, cloud services, architecture, and high-quality solutions, this role will see you providing both hands-on software development yourself and technical leadership for the team you’re in, which looks after their major flagship product.

For this product, they are in the middle of an upgrade from a legacy codebase that includes .Net MVC, Razor Pages, and AngularJS to the latest iterations of .Net core, Angular (v19+), Azure, and modern architectural patterns, etc.

They have a pragmatic view of AI; they use it to assist them in their workflows as a tool, not a replacement for knowledge, and would expect you to do the same.

You will be a democratic, force for good within the team and wider department; knowing when to take the initiative to instruct and when to listen and encourage those around you.

You will make key decisions around a number of areas, including; software architecture, technology choices and solution design, and being a part of the architecture team of Principal Developers to collaborate across the their technical estate, all with the knowledge in mind that achieving software excellence is a group activity, and all ideas are welcomed, from everyone. Successful outcomes are something to be shared and for everyone to be proud of and contribute to.

Tech-wise, you will be especially capable with the following; C#, Typescript, SQL, .NET, Angular, and a range of Azure platform-as-a-service components. You will also do great tests for every bit of code your write!

You will be a hands-on, Senior member of the team, supporting and working closely alongside the Team Leader.

If this sounds like a great time to you, apply now, or if you want to ask some questions to learn more, drop me a line and let’s talk!

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
