More:
We are seeking a skilled .NET engineer to modernize and support our portfolio of legacy applications and services. Many of our existing systems are built on older, unsupported .NET versions, and you will play a key role in refactoring and/or re-architecting and future-proofing them for long-term stability. This is a hands-on role that requires strong problem-solving skills, a solid understanding of enterprise application design, and experience working across the full development lifecycle. Working alongside colleagues in both the UK and India, you will be part of a team that collaborates closely with the commercial side of the business. If you enjoy building systems using the .NET platform, with a focus on delivering quality software whilst continuing to learn and improve with colleagues, then this is an excellent opportunity to further your career. The salary range for this position is £75,000 – £80,000 per year.
