• Experience building REST APIs and backend services
• Good knowledge of SQL Server and Azure
• An appreciation of modern engineering practices including CI/CD and automated testing
• Curiosity around AI, LLMs and the future of software development
• Someone already using tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or someone genuinely excited to adopt them
• Experience working in product-led engineering teams

Desirable

• React and TypeScript experience
• Exposure to PHP or Laravel
• Azure DevOps and Docker

What you'll get

• £55,000 - £65,000
• Benefits inc. Bonus, Private Healthcare, Income Protection, Personal Development Budget
• Hybrid working (3 days per week in Central Manchester)
• Modern Microsoft technology stack
• Significant investment in AI adoption across engineering
• Direct access to technical leadership and genuine opportunities for progression

If you're looking for more than another .NET role and want to help shape how AI transforms software engineering over the next few years, we'd love to hear from you.
