- Exploring automation and AI tools to improve efficiency and test coverage
About you:
- 5+ years’ commercial software development experience
- Proven background in C#, .NET Core, and cloud technologies
- Solid front-end experience with Angular and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Knowledge of secure coding principles, clean architecture, and modern design patterns
- Familiarity with SQL Server, microservices, REST APIs, Docker and Git
- A collaborative, proactive mindset—comfortable taking the lead when required
Desirable:
- Experience modernising legacy systems
- Exposure to AI-assisted development or DevOps tooling
- Familiarity with TDD or automated testing frameworks
- Knowledge of Azure, OAuth/OIDC, or Python
Why apply?
