Senior Dotnet Developer

Job Title: Senior .Net Developer in Betting and Gambling Firm

Job Type: Perm

Location: 2 Days in a Week in Manchester M2 4JG

A major digital consumer-facing platform in Manchester is hiring a Senior .NET Developer to help improve and evolve a live, business-critical technology estate.

This is not babysitting a legacy estate with no roadmap. The platform is live, commercially important and actively being improved, with a real focus on performance, reliability, scalability and technical quality.

You’ll be working across C#/.NET, Web API, WCF, SQL/NoSQL, caching, messaging, Windows Services and performance optimisation, with a healthy mix of new feature development and improvement work across existing systems.

The role suits someone who enjoys proper backend/platform engineering. Someone who can take ownership of work from development through to production, improve what already exists, and work closely with Lead Developers to raise the quality of how software is built and supported.

What you’ll be doing

Building and improving features across C#/.NET applications

Working with Web API, WCF, SQL/NoSQL and backend services

Improving performance, reliability and maintainability across live systems

Supporting integrations, internal services and platform improvements

Working with Lead Developers on standards, design and technical quality

Owning developments through testing, release and production support

Helping reduce technical debt across a mature Microsoft estate

What they’re looking for

Strong commercial experience with C#/.NET

Experience with Web API, REST services and WCF

Strong database experience across SQL Server, MySQL or NoSQL

Comfortable working with legacy systems, Windows Services or established .NET estates

Exposure to caching, messaging, distributed systems or performance tuning

Git, Agile/Kanban and a practical delivery mindset

Someone who improves systems properly, rather than trying to rewrite everything because they got bored

The honest sell

This is not shiny greenfield fantasy land, and that is exactly why it is interesting.

It is a stable, high-volume platform where the work is about improving systems that already matter commercially. If someone likes .NET, APIs, performance, legacy improvement and production ownership, this is a strong move.
