Job Description
Backend Developer, Azure
Mainly remote, occasional travel to Derby
Up to £425 per day
Outside IR35
Initial 3-month contract
We're supporting a business that needs an experienced Backend Developer to join a mature Azure platform team and contribute quickly across live sprint delivery.
This is not a role for someone who needs heavy direction or a detailed brief handed to them for every piece of work. The team needs someone who can pick up requirements, ask the right questions, own their work end-to-end and deliver production-quality code from early in the assignment.
The environment is Microsoft and Azure-led, with a backend platform built around C#/.NET, Azure Functions, Azure API Management, Azure SQL, Service Bus and Azure DevOps.
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for building, enhancing and supporting backend services across a live digital platform. This will include feature delivery, integration work, production support, testing, DevOps activity and working closely with product and technical stakeholders.
You'll be expected to contribute across the full delivery lifecycle, from understanding requirements and shaping the technical approach through to build, test, deployment and operational support.
Key skills we're looking for
Strong C# / .NET backend development experience
Azure Functions experience
Azure API Management
Azure Service Bus
Azure SQL, including stored procedures, schema changes and performance awareness
Azure DevOps, CI/CD and deployment pipelines
Experience working in Agile Scrum environments
Strong written and verbal communication
Ability to work independently and own delivery without close supervision
Useful additional experience
Terraform, Bicep or ARM templates
Application Insights / Azure Monitor
Auth0 or Entra ID B2C
D365 integration experience
Logic Apps or Power Automate
Secure API development and OAuth2 / OIDC flows
Why apply?
This is a good opportunity for a contractor who enjoys proper hands-on engineering, mature Azure environments and roles where they can make an immediate impact.
The client needs someone who can contribute quickly, communicate clearly and take ownership from the first sprint.
