Senior Software Engineer – C#/.NET
📍 Reading | Hybrid (2 days onsite / 3 days WFH)
💰 £70,000 - £80,000
We're working with a client in Reading who is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help drive both the technical direction and the day-to-day delivery of their engineering team. This is a true 50/50 role; you'll be helping lead, mentoring and shaping how the team works, while staying genuinely hands-on with code, architecture and CI/CD.
If you've got deep C#/.NET experience, a strong handle on CI/CD pipelines, and you're ready to take ownership of both people and product, we want to hear from you.
Leadership & Mentoring
- Provide technical leadership and day-to-day direction for a mixed-experience team of engineers, from junior through to senior
- Mentor and coach developers at all levels through code reviews, pairing and 1:1s, tailoring your approach to where each person is in their career
- Support the development of junior and mid-level engineers while giving senior engineers room to grow into more autonomous, high-impact work
- Set and uphold engineering standards, coding practices and definition of done
- Own planning and prioritisation, balancing feature delivery against technical debt
- Act as the technical escalation point, translating complex issues for non-technical stakeholders
- Contribute to hiring, onboarding and the ongoing growth of the team
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing
