Role: Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine
Salary: £70-80k plus benefits
Location: Birmingham office, flexible working hours and location. You can come into the office as much or as little as you like. The average, I would say, is 1 / month
Do you want to work in a company that is big enough to have well-established career paths, small enough to know that all your work makes a real, material difference, and prides itself on not only some of the best tech talent around but a culture to match?
If not, why not?!
I love recruiting for this company, and I’m sure you’ll love working there.
I am looking for a Principal Software Developer to join a team of 5 highly proficient, friendly people, consisting of; a team leader, 2 senior devs, mid-level dev, and a QA.
As an experienced and highly capable Software Developer, well-versed in modern software development best practice, cloud services, architecture, and high-quality solutions, this role will see you providing both hands-on software development yourself and technical leadership for the team you’re in, which looks after 6 software products, 2 of which are larger and more notable than the others.
You will be a democratic, force for good within the team; knowing when to take the initiative to instruct and when to listen and encourage those around you. You will make key decisions around a number of areas, including software architecture, technology choices and solution design, all with the knowledge in mind that achieving software excellence is a group activity, and all ideas are welcomed, from everyone. Successful outcomes are something to be shared and for everyone to be proud of and contribute to.
Tech-wise, you will be especially capable with the following; .NET Framework, MVC, Knockout.js, Azure DevOps, Azure, etc.
This role would be perfect for you if you’re the kind of person who has a very curious mindset, and someone who can’t help but want to improve an application/ feature/ bit of code that isn’t optimal!
They are starting the process of rejuvenating the applications you’re looking after to bring them in line with the rest of the bleeding-edge tech apps elsewhere in the company (written in .Net 6, Angular, Azure, TypeScript, etc) before they become legacy.
You will be taking the technical decisions to make this happen, so things like ‘which TypeScript framework would work best for what we’re trying to achieve?’ and ‘Which is the best tool for the job here?’ are what you will think about and take action on.
You will have no direct reports but will be a hands-on, Senior member of the team, supporting and working closely alongside the Team Leader.
If this sounds like a great time to you, apply now, or if you want to ask some questions to learn more, drop me a line and let’s talk!
