Job Description

About Rotageek:

Rotageek, an ELMO-owned company, started in the UK as a small side project when our CEO, an A&E doctor, wanted to improve scheduling in his hospital department. Today, we’re reinventing how employees are scheduled by helping organisations ditch manual paper and excel based methods in favour of sleek, intelligent, and interactive digital rotas. Our unique approach to workforce management helps employees improve their work-life balance by giving them more ownership over their hours while decreasing operational costs and simplifying processes for their employers. We use intelligent technology to ensure the right staff are available to meet complex demand considerations through rotas which are simple to create, modify, and distribute.

The Role:

We're looking for an experienced full stack engineer who will play a key role in shaping how our platform evolves from the APIs and services that power it to the interfaces our users interact with every day. You'll be embedded within a cross-functional product squad, with the flexibility to work across web apps, mobile apps, integrations, and API layers. As a Technical Lead, you'll take ownership of the services and systems within your domain; driving improvements, mentoring less experienced engineers, and helping raise the bar on engineering quality. You'll be trusted to make sound technical decisions and will be hands-on, forward-thinking, and excited by solving real-world problems through well-crafted, scalable solutions. We're a little obsessive about using the most appropriate tech to solve our problems, so there's always an opportunity to learn new skills.

Our Technology:

Rotageek teams work across a range of technologies, and while specifics vary by team, our current ecosystem includes several core areas.

• Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript, and HTML.
• Backend: ASP.NET with C#, covering .NET Framework and .NET Core.
• APIs: REST and GraphQL and manage data through SQL, NoSQL, and Snowflake.
• Cloud: Azure
  
  

What We Expect From Our Engineers:

You write clean, maintainable, and technically sound code, applying OO and SOLID principles consistently. You have a strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and care deeply about building scalable and performant systems. You're comfortable suggesting new and brave ideas, technologies, and ways of working. You actively use AI-powered tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot as a genuine part of your modern engineering workflow. You thrive in an agile, collaborative environment, contributing to short feedback loops and continuous improvement. You are comfortable working across a range of technologies and platforms, and can research and evaluate the best solutions to help drive our platform forward. When things go wrong, you roll up your sleeves and help solve problems fast.

Your Responsibilities:

Build, run, and own the services and systems within your domain while delivering features and proactively improving reliability. Take ownership of specific areas and articulate a clear vision for future improvements. Contribute to architecture decisions across backend and frontend, including API design, data modelling, and service interactions. Break down complex work into actionable pieces and provide accurate estimates with an understanding of confidence levels. Drive code quality and the review process to maintain a high bar through comprehensive testing and automation. Use reviews as a means of tutoring colleagues by explaining trade-offs and considering performance impact. Mentor and support junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing. Collaborate across the squad and the business with designers and product managers to deliver production-ready solutions. Champion good engineering practices by promoting accessibility, performance, security, and observability across the team. Lead the adoption of AI/GenAI tooling where it drives real impact for the engineering team. Challenge assumptions during refinement by considering the wider business context and customer value.

Role Requirements:

The ideal candidate has strong knowledge of ASP.NET and C# with experience designing and building backend services and APIs. You have experience developing complex web applications using React and TypeScript with a solid understanding of modern CSS and HTML. You possess a good understanding of back-end architecture, including database technologies and service-oriented patterns.

You have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and experience with CI/CD tools such as TeamCity or GitHub Actions. You are comfortable working across all areas of the software while maintaining depth within your primary focus. You are confident managing competing priorities and troubleshooting issues under pressure with empathy and urgency. You demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to influence decisions through collaboration and persuasion. Ideally, you also have exposure to mobile app development using React Native.
