WDR Ltd is a bespoke learning and development consultancy, delivering innovative learning solutions across multiple sectors. We're evolving our next-generation Learning Management System (LMS), a rich platform supporting everything from course planning and booking to attendance, evaluation, and certification.
About the Role
We are looking for a talented and adaptable Senior Full Stack Software Developer who is comfortable working across both front-end and back-end components. You’ll be joining a small, technically focused team delivering a modern web platform while also providing senior technical guidance and leadership support where required.
This role is hands-on and development-focused, but also suited to someone who is comfortable taking ownership, mentoring colleagues, and stepping in to support the Tech Lead with team coordination and technical oversight when needed.
The system is deployed across multiple Linux servers and managed using DevOps pipelines and AWX (Ansible playbooks). The backend is written in C# using gRPC services exposed via a Web API gateway, backed by a MySQL database. The front end is built with Vite and React.
While full stack skills are essential, we are especially interested in candidates who bring strong React and/or AWX/Ansible experience to complement existing team strengths.
What You'll Do
* Develop and maintain responsive, component-based user interfaces using React + Vite.
* Build scalable, service-oriented back-end features using .NET, gRPC, and Web API.
* Work with Entity Framework and MySQL to design and query robust data models.
* Contribute to AWX/Ansible playbooks and DevOps pipelines for deployment automation.
* Participate in code reviews and collaborate with peers to ensure quality and maintainability.
* Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Key Requirements
* Proven experience with C#, .NET Core, and Entity Framework.
* Experience with React (preferably with Vite), building modern UIs.
* Good understanding of gRPC, REST APIs, and microservice architectures.
* Proficiency in MySQL and writing efficient database queries.
* Comfortable with Linux environments and command-line tooling.
* Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to delivery.
* Experience working with AWX, Ansible playbooks, and infrastructure automation.
* Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, especially in a Linux/Hyper-V context.
* Exposure to SaaS platforms or scalable web applications.
* Interest in mentoring others or improving team skills in React or automation.
* £50,000 – £70,000 salary (depending on experience)
* Company pension scheme
* Free on-site parking
* Potential for hybrid work after probation
* Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge internal platform with modern tools
