Senior Software Developer

I'm working with a fast-growing Fin Tech scale-up based in Manchester that are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a highly capable engineering team and play a key role in shaping the next phase of their platform.

This is a genuine opportunity to work on meaningful, high-traffic systems while still having a strong voice in technical decisions.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be part of a cross-functional product team of 8 engineers, working closely with Product Managers, QA, and UX. You'll be hands-on with development while also influencing architecture, mentoring others, and driving engineering best practices.

• Building and evolving cloud-native .NET services that process millions of transactions
• Designing scalable APIs and modernising legacy components
• Improving system performance, reliability, and security
• Contributing to architectural decisions and technical roadmaps
• Mentoring mid-level engineers and reviewing code

• C# / .NET 6+
• ASP.NET Core & Web APIs
• Azure (App Services, Functions, Service Bus, Azure SQL)
• SQL Server
• Entity Framework Core
• CI/CD using Azure Dev Ops
• Microservices & event-driven architecture
• React exposure is a bonus, but not essential

• Strong commercial experience with C# and .NET
• Experience building scalable, production-ready systems
• Comfortable working in Azure-hosted environments
• A pragmatic engineer who enjoys clean code and collaboration
• Someone happy to mentor and influence without being overly hierarchical

• £55,000 - £65,000 salary
• Hybrid working: 2 days per week in the Manchester office
• 10% annual bonus
• Pension matched up to 6%
• Private healthcare
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with buy/sell options)
• Dedicated learning & certification budget
• Modern Manchester city-centre office with flexible working hours
• Regular team socials, hack days, and innovation time

This iis a role where you'll be trusted, listened to, and given the freedom to build things properly - all while working with modern Microsoft tech and a team that genuinely enjoys engineering.

If you're a Senior Software Engineer looking for a balanced, interesting role, apply now for immediate consideration.
