- Contribute to system performance, scalability, and resilience improvements
- Participate in agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
- Collaborate with BAs, testers, solution architects, and product owners
- Document APIs and technical decisions to support maintainability
What you'll need to succeed
- Strong commercial experience with .NET Core / C# (.NET 5/6; .NET 8/10 exposure highly regarded)
- Hands-on experience building APIs on Microsoft Azure (App Services, Functions, Azure SQL, etc.)
- Solid Entity Framework Core experience
- Advanced SQL Server / T-SQL, including stored procedure development and performance tuning
- Proven experience integrating with or modernising legacy systems (10–20+ years old)
- Experience with data migration or progressive system modernisation
