Senior Software Developer

Your new company

Join a purpose-driven organisation at the heart of a thriving community, where technology is being harnessed to transform lives. This values-led housing provider is embarking on a bold digital transformation journey, with a clear mission to deliver outstanding services to residents through innovation and excellence. With a strong commitment to social impact and modernisation, this is a place where your work will truly matter.


Your new role

As the Senior Software Developer, you’ll be the cornerstone of a brand-new in-house development team. You’ll lead the design and implementation of a cutting-edge, event-driven integration platform built on Microsoft Azure, working initially alongside expert consultants before taking full technical ownership. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of digital services from the ground up—architecting scalable solutions, integrating third-party systems, and mentoring a high-performing team.
This role goes beyond coding. You’ll be a technical leader, a mentor, and a champion of best practices in software development. You’ll help define the organisation’s digital ecosystem and ensure it delivers seamless, secure, and high-quality experiences for both customers and staff.
The position is full-time (37 hours per week)

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience delivering enterprise-grade solutions on the Microsoft Azure platform
  • Strong proficiency in .NET C# and event-driven development methodologies
  • Hands-on expertise with Azure services such as Event Hubs, Service Bus, Event Grid, Web Apps, Serverless Functions, APIM, and data services like Azure SQL and Cosmos DB
  • A track record of building and consuming APIs and microservices using modern architectural patterns (e.g., CQRS, event sourcing)
  • Leadership experience, with a passion for mentoring and growing development teams
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Agile delivery experience and a commitment to continuous improvement
Bonus points if you have:
  • Azure certifications (e.g., Developing or Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions)
  • Experience with GraphQL (e.g., HotChocolate), Kafka, Docker, Azure DevOps, or observability tools
  • Knowledge of identity management, housing systems, or Gitflow

What you'll get in return

  • The chance to build a development function from scratch and leave a lasting legacy
  • A meaningful role in a mission-led organisation that values innovation and community impact
  • Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
  • Opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and continuous learning
  • A collaborative, supportive environment where your voice and expertise will shape the future
