At Lancaster University, we're not just keeping pace with digital transformation in Higher Education - we're leading it. As a globally recognised institution, innovation runs deep in our DNA. Our IT Partnering and Innovation Team (ITPI) builds bold, human-centred solutions that re-imagine how staff and students interact with technology, wherever they are in the world.
We're looking for a UX-UI Developer who thinks beyond code. Someone who understands the value of design thinking, cares deeply about user experience, and is excited to prototype, iterate, and build with purpose. This is a maternity cover and will be until the end of March 2026.
As our UX-UI Developer, you'll play a key part in a cross-functional team that develops high-impact mobile and web experiences. You'll contribute across the full development stack - but this isn't just a coding role. You'll help shape ideas, test hypotheses, and bring to life digital tools that make a difference.
You will
* Design and build responsive applications using a variety of technologies from React to C#.
* Work with both AWS and Azure, using modern DevOps practices.
* Champion UX best practices and contribute to our design thinking workshops.
* Mentor students and junior team members as part of our innovation culture.
* Explore and experiment with emerging frameworks and technologies.
Who We're Looking For
You'll need:
* Solid experience in React, C#, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure).
* An interest in human-centred design, UI/UX, and iterative development.
* Familiarity with Git and good version control practices.
* Curiosity, flexibility, and a willingness to work outside your comfort zone.
If you thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and are always learning - we want to hear from you.
If interested, apply now and submit one attachment with your CV alongside a coversheet (Coversheet no more than x2 pages).
