Codurance is a software craftsmanship consultancy. We work with clients on the engineering problems that actually matter to their business, and we do it properly - clean code, sound architecture, and engineering practices that hold up under pressure, not just in a demo. We're not a body-shop; our consultants are expected to bring technical judgement and push back on bad decisions, not just fill a seat.
We're hiring contract.NET Engineers to join a project team working on a large-scale modernisation programme for a client in the regulated financial services space - replacing a legacy platform that's been patched together for years with a modern, cloud-native architecture running on Kubernetes. It's meaty, high-stakes engineering with real constraints around compliance, data integrity, and scale, and you'll be doing it alongside a team that cares about doing the work well.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be embedded with the client's engineering teams as part of a Codurance delivery squad, working on:
- Re-architecting parts of a legacy system onto modern, cloud-native foundations
- Building and evolving services on Kubernetes across AWS and Azure
- Working in a regulated environment where quality, testing, and traceability aren't optional
- Applying proper software craftsmanship practices - TDD, pairing, clean architecture - as standard.
Requirements:
- Strong commercial experience with.NET / C# in a production environment
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerised/Kubernetes environments
- Comfortable working in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment (financial services experience is a plus, not a requirement)
- Experience modernising or re-platforming legacy systems
- A genuine interest in doing things well - testing, clean code, good engineering habits
- Able to work in Manchester 1-2 days a week
