Job Description:

Lead .NET Developer – Software for Physical Devices

Location: Remote - must be UK based

Salary: £80,000 + Bonus

IMPORTANT - This role focuses on building software that interfaces with and ingests data from physical devices and external systems.

It is not a typical web/API-only .NET role.

The Opportunity

We’re working with a UK based tech company developing advanced platforms that operate in real-world environments, integrating data from multiple hardware devices and external sources into a unified system.

They’re looking for a Lead .NET Engineer to drive development of the back end systems that connect to, process, and manage data from these physical systems.

The Role

You’ll lead the design and build of software that sits at the boundary between hardware and software, handling data ingestion, system integration, and real-time processing.

This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring strong engineering fundamentals and experience working on systems that go beyond standard web applications.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and lead development of .NET services that ingest and process data from hardware devices and external systems
• Design systems that handle real-time or near real-time data streams
• Develop and maintain interfaces between software and physical components (e.g. sensors, devices, third-party systems)
• Work on data normalisation, fusion, and processing pipelines
• Ensure reliability and performance in non-ideal, real-world conditions
• Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and product teams
• Provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on with development

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience with .NET / C# in complex back end systems
• Familiarity with front end development, ideally using TypeScript
• Experience building software that integrates with hardware, devices, or external data sources
• Background in data ingestion, streaming, or event-driven systems
• Solid understanding of system design, performance, and fault tolerance
• Proven ability to lead technical direction and mentor engineers

Strongly Preferred

• Experience working with IoT, sensors, telemetry, or edge devices
• Exposure to messaging/streaming technologies (Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT, etc.)
• Experience handling noisy, unreliable, or high-volume real-world data
• Background in industries such as robotics, automotive, IOT, medical devices or similar
