Location: Ross-on-Wye (office-based)
We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic, and quality-driven mid-level Software Engineer to join our small, collaborative team.
This is a hands-on software office-based engineering role supporting a varied portfolio of applications and services used by both Dawleys and our clients.
You will contribute to the development, support, and continuous improvement of solutions across both Microsoft Azure cloud platforms and existing on-premises systems.
The role offers an excellent opportunity to work across a diverse technology landscape, balancing the enhancement and support of established business-critical applications with the development of newer cloud-native products and services.

Due to the collaborative nature of the role, this position is office-based at our Ross-on-Wye location.
