Senior Software Developer

Leeds | Hybrid | Up to £65,000 + bonus & benefits

A growing software business is looking for a collaborative, hands-on Senior Software Developer to join its established development team.

This is a great opportunity to work across a portfolio of digital products, including platforms within the contracts, project management and document management space. With a strong delivery pipeline and several products in development, you'll be involved in a varied mix of greenfield and existing-product work.

You'll join a close-knit development function within a successful SME, working alongside developers, testers and senior stakeholders. While this is not a formal people-management role, you will have the opportunity to provide technical guidance, share knowledge and help shape development best practice.

The role

Build and enhance full-stack software products across a varied product portfolio
Work across the full development lifecycle, including coding, code reviews, testing, releases and cloud delivery
Contribute to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, ticket refinement and technical discussions
Help break down larger features and balance delivery priorities with technical debt
Support and mentor other developers through knowledge sharing, reviews and best practice
Collaborate closely with QA to develop and improve manual and automated testing practices
Engage with stakeholders to understand product requirements and business priorities
Explore and use AI-enabled development tools responsibly to improve ways of working

What we're looking for

Strong commercial experience as a full-stack software developer
Proven experience with .NET, ideally modern versions
Front-end development experience with Angular; candidates with strong React or transferable front-end skills will also be considered
Experience with Entity Framework or comparable back-end/data-access technologies
Azure experience is desirable, although AWS or Google Cloud exposure is also relevant
Good understanding of cloud development, DevOps, testing and release processes
Previous experience of mentoring, technical leadership, code reviews, planning or technical-debt management
A genuine interest in AI tools and their responsible use in software development
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams

About you

You'll be a technically strong developer who is also approachable, pragmatic and team-focused. You'll enjoy sharing ideas and knowledge, taking ownership of your work and contributing to a positive engineering culture.

The business is looking for someone who is curious, accountable and keen to keep learning - someone who understands that great software is built through strong collaboration as well as technical ability.
