Location: Leeds (hybrid, around 2 days onsite) Salary: Up to £80,000 + benefits
I'm working with a software house that is investing in a brand new development strategy. They want someone who can take ownership of evolving their platforms, modernising their tech stack, and helping to shape a growing engineering function.
This is a hands‑on lead role where you'll work across multiple products and applications, guide a small existing team, and set the technical direction for new and ongoing projects. There's a lot of freedom to influence how things are built, delivered and supported.
What you'll be doing
* Designing and developing new applications across a range of platforms and products.
* Owning the full delivery process including architecture, development, testing, deployment and documentation.
* Embedding agile ways of working using Scrum and sprint cycles.
* Shaping a modern Azure environment using C#, .NET, SQL Server, microservices, Kubernetes and Azure App Service.
* Making sure systems are scalable, secure and easy to monitor.
* Helping define what the future team looks like and taking a role in its growth.
* Working with stakeholders to understand needs and shape the technical roadmap.
What they're looking for
* Strong background as a senior or lead-level .NET developer.
* Skilled in C#, .NET, SQL Server and Azure services.
* Experience with microservices and ideally Kubernetes.
* Comfortable working in an agile environment.
* Some experience making architectural or design decisions.
* Exposure to a variety of application types and platforms.
* Understanding of monitoring and observability tooling.
* Some leadership experience, whether direct line management or mentoring.
* Confident working with and challenging external suppliers.
* Practical mindset, comfortable working through legacy and improving things step by step.
Why this could be a good move
* A brand new role with room to influence decisions and ways of working.
* Chance to rebuild platforms instead of patching existing ones.
* Solid support from the wider organisation.
* Hybrid working from Leeds.
* Flexible working hours and a friendly team culture.
