Full Stack .NET Developer (C#, React, Azure). in Leyland

Senior Software Engineer
Central Lancashire | Hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 remote) | Up to £49,000 + excellent benefits
Ready for your first senior role?
You might be a strong mid-level engineer who already works at a senior level in all but name. You know the .NET stack inside out, you've delivered on busy production systems, and other developers already come to you for answers. If you're ready for the title and the ownership that comes with it, this is your chance to prove it.
The company
A well-established consumer brand, part of a large international group. Its in-house engineering team builds and evolves the platforms that power several brands across the business, integrating with a range of third-party systems. The team is smart, experienced and fast-moving, works in an agile way, and is always exploring new tools and techniques to grow the platforms.
The opportunity
You'll join a team of around five developers as its senior engineer. The role has opened because a long-serving senior has moved on, which means there's a real gap to fill. You won't be one senior among many waiting for your turn. You'll be the person the team looks to.
You'll take ownership of high-traffic, customer-facing platforms, shape how they develop and lead by example. It's a great way to build a track record as a senior engineer, with visible impact, an in-house People Development team behind you, and real room to grow your career from here.
What you'll be doing
Building and evolving high-load, distributed, enterprise web platforms across the full stack.
Developing and supporting APIs and microservices used by internal teams and external customers.
Owning work from estimate to delivery, with clear updates on progress, status and risks.
Working closely with product, architecture, infrastructure and testing teams to deliver robust, high-quality solutions.
Setting the technical standard for the team through code reviews, best practice and sound design decisions.
Mentoring and supporting mid-level developers and helping to improve the team's processes.
Responding to live issues and taking part in an on-call rota.
What you'll bring
Commercial experience delivering websites and services with .NET and .NET Core.
Strong front-end skills with React or a similar modern framework.
Experience with Umbraco CMS.
Hands-on experience with Azure, Azure DevOps and SQL Server.
Experience with multi-tier, high-volume, transactional systems, and an understanding of the challenges they bring.
A solid grasp of design patterns, data structures, application architecture and solution design.
A strong track record of delivery, plus the confidence and appetite to step up and lead by example.
Desirable: experience in a high-volume consumer or e-commerce environment.
You don't need years with “Senior” in your job title. What matters is showing that you can do the job.
Why this role
Your step up. A genuine senior title and senior responsibility, not a stretch role with a junior label.
Real ownership. Major platforms used across multiple brands, where your decisions and delivery will be seen.
Career growth. Leadership, mentoring and technical ownership experience, backed by an in-house People Development team.
Stability. The security and scale of a large international group.
Work-life balance. Hybrid working, with 3 days in a bright, modern office and 2 from home, on a 37.5-hour week.
Quick process. Two stages: a technical conversation, then a competency interview.
Benefits include:
25 days' annual leave, rising to 28 after five years, plus
