Manchester (Hybrid – 2 Days Per Week)
Build software that operates at enterprise scale.
We're partnering with a market-leading global SaaS organisation embarking on a significant technology transformation. With millions of customer interactions and mission-critical platforms relied upon by enterprise clients, this is an opportunity to join a business investing heavily in cloud, engineering excellence and modern software development.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll help evolve a large-scale platform from a legacy architecture into a modern, cloud-native ecosystem, working alongside a high-calibre engineering team building software that delivers genuine business impact.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced backend engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing architectural decisions and working with modern engineering practices.
The Opportunity
You'll play a key role in designing, building and evolving highly scalable backend services whilst contributing to the wider technical direction of the platform.
- Working within an Agile engineering team, you'll be involved throughout the software lifecycle—from architecture and design through to deployment, optimisation and continuous improvement.
- Although the role has some front-end responsibilities, it is predominantly backend focused, with modern.NET and AWS at its core.
