Storm ID is an award-winning Edinburgh-based digital transformation consultancy that helps organisations accelerate their use of digital, data and AI. We believe in tailored solutions, assembling expert teams to address each client's unique needs. Our services span strategy, design, technology and data & AI, ensuring seamless end-to-end delivery of platforms, products and services with real-world impact.

 

The Role We're looking for an experienced Umbraco developer to join our technical team on a short-term 3-month contract. We're in a particularly busy period and need someone who can get stuck in from the first day.

You'll work on a mix of Umbraco upgrades and new development, all using the current LTS version, Umbraco 17. That includes upgrading existing client sites from older versions, building new features and components, integrating with internal and third-party services and APIs, and helping to get work through testing and release. You'll sit within our project teams, working alongside our project managers, developers and testers.

Because of the timing, the team won't have much capacity to bring someone up to speed. You'll need to be comfortable picking up an unfamiliar codebase, working out how it fits together and asking sensible questions when you need to. In return you'll join a friendly, collaborative team at our modern offices in historic Leith or hybrid or fully remote working.

 

About You We're after someone who has already done this work on live client projects. You'll have several years of experience as an Umbraco developer, including recent experience on the current version of Umbraco and on at least one upgrade from an older version. You'll also be comfortable with:

• C# and modern .NET, including ASP.NET Core
• Building and customising Umbraco sites, including document types, templates, custom property editors, composers, notification handlers and the Management API
• Integrating with internal and third-party services and APIs to extend website functionality and exchange data
• Working with Umbraco's backoffice extension model in the current LTS version Umbraco 17
• Umbraco Cloud and Azure hosting
• Git and build and deployment pipelines in GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
• SQL Server and Entity Framework Core
• Front-end basics in HTML, CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript, so you can work comfortably with our front-end developers
• Unit and integration testing with frameworks such as NUnit or xUnit

You'll have a "secure by default" mind-set and care about accessibility and performance. You'll be a clear communicator who is happy to work independently, ask questions early and keep the team up to date on progress. You'll need to manage your own time well and be able to prioritise when several things are happening at once.
