Software Engineer

Salary Circa £50k, salary dependant on skills and experience

Permanent

37 hours a week, Monday to Friday, Hybrid working

Help shape the next stage of software engineering at TIDE, part of the Anglian Water Group.

We’re looking for a C# / .NET engineer to join our team as we develop our Azure services and modernise existing applications. You’ll design, develop and maintain C#/.NET applications and APIs, taking features from requirements through implementation, testing, deployment and support.

Our work combines new development with practical modernisation. We’re developing our Azure platform around Container Apps and Service Bus, improving delivery through Azure DevOps YAML pipelines and Bicep, and progressively replacing existing MVC and Angular interfaces with React.

What you will work on

• Develop and improve C# / .NET applications and APIs, applying Clean Architecture principles to deliver maintainable, testable and well-structured code.
• Work with application data using Entity Framework Core and Azure SQL, and contribute to decisions about where services such as Cosmos DB are appropriate.

• Build and support asynchronous workflows using Azure Service Bus and MassTransit.

• Contribute to Azure DevOps pipelines and Bicep infrastructure, helping the team release changes consistently across environments.

• Investigate application problems using logs, diagnostics and other evidence, then address their underlying causes.

• Contribute to the gradual replacement of existing MVC and Angular interfaces with React.

• Review code, discuss implementation choices and improve engineering practices with the team.

What we are looking for

• Experience developing and maintaining applications using C# and modern .NET.

• An understanding of API development, asynchronous programming and writing code that other engineers can understand and maintain.

• Experience working with relational databases, SQL and data-access tools such as Entity Framework Core.

• Experience writing automated tests and using them to verify changes.

• Experience deploying or supporting applications in Azure, including working with application configuration across environments.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git, and an ability to contribute through code reviews and technical discussion.

• A practical approach to troubleshooting: gathering evidence, explaining your reasoning and working towards a proportionate solution.

Experience that would help you get started

Our technology direction includes Azure Container Apps, Service Bus, MassTransit, Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, Bicep, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, React and TypeScript.

Experience with some of these would be useful. We don’t expect you to have worked with every technology in our stack. Strong C# and software engineering fundamentals, relevant production experience and the ability to learn unfamiliar tools matter more than matching every product name.

What you can contribute

You’ll have opportunities to influence how features are implemented, bring improvements into code reviews and help the team make considered decisions about its applications.

We value engineers who explain their thinking, respond constructively to feedback and share what they learn. You should be comfortable taking responsibility for your work, asking for support when needed and balancing delivery with reliability and maintainability.

As a valued employee, you’ll be entitled to:

• Bonus scheme of up to 10% of your annual salary
• Private health care for you
• 26 days annual leave rising with service

• Competitive pension scheme – we double-match your contributions up to 7%

• Flexibility to personalise your benefits package and support your wellbeing
• Hybrid working
• Plus lots more!

TIDE is part of the Anglian Water Group and comprises of three diverse and interesting brands - each operating in an ever-changing and challenging market. On joining TIDE you’ll enjoy all the benefits of working for the Anglian Water Group. We believe your salary and bonus should be just the beginning of your reward package so there’s nothing basic about the breadth and competitiveness of the benefits we offer.
