Software Engineer /.NET Core, Azure, AI
£50,000-£65,000
Manchester / Hybrid
We're working with a growing digital product business that's investing heavily in its engineering capability, modernising its platform and embedding AI into the heart of how software is designed, built and delivered.
This isn't about adding another chatbot. It's about giving engineers the freedom to experiment with AI-assisted development and agentic workflows that genuinely improves productivity and product outcomes.
The opportunity
You'll join a cross-functional product squad building customer-facing products used by millions of members in the loyalty and rewards space.
While the core platform is built on modern Microsoft technologies, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute across the wider technology estate where required as the business continues its platform modernisation.

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
