This role requires someone comfortable operating within challenging technical environments, able to work closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to simplify, improve, and evolve existing services. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as many existing platforms and services have significant operational and organisational investment behind them.

• Contribute to frontend application development using Next.js or similar modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders to deliver pragmatic technical solutions.
• Promote best practices in software engineering, maintainability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Support teams through technical challenges and modernisation initiatives.

Work effectively with stakeholders across the business, navigating complex and sensitive technical discussions where required.

• Strong experience as a Senior Software Engineer working within .NET environments.
• Good experience across both modern .NET and legacy .NET Framework applications.
• Strong experience with AWS cloud technologies.
• Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Good understanding of AI-assisted development tooling and harness engineering concepts, with active engagement in the space.
• Experience working within complex or evolving technical environments.

• Comfortable working hands-on within challenging technical environments.

Ability to work collaboratively across engineering and business teams.
