The Opportunity - Senior Developer - Cloud Platform & AI
We're recruiting for a Senior Software Developer to join a small, highly capable technology team delivering a major legacy-to-cloud transformation. The business is moving its core booking platform to an Azure and modern .NET solution, while also building an AI-powered quotation and knowledge platform that will be central to how the organisation works. This is a hands-on senior engineering role and you'll be joining at a point where the architecture, delivery approach and product direction still matter. You'll design and ship production services, contribute to a structured strangler-fig migration, and use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as part of everyday engineering practice. The role would suit an experienced Senior Developer, or a strong Developer ready to step up in a collaborative, senior-led environment.
What You'll Be Doing
Design, build and support cloud-based services in .NET 10 across Azure API Management, Azure SQL and the wider Azure platform. Help modernise a business-critical booking platform using an incremental strangler-fig migration approach. Work on anti-corruption layers, two-way data synchronisation, staged cutovers, validation and zero-downtime release patterns. Build and maintain reliable CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Develop secure services within the Entra ID identity plane for staff and customer authentication. Contribute to AI-enabled quotation and knowledge tools, including human-in-the-loop quote drafting and retrieval-augmented knowledge features. Collaborate closely with mobile, product and engineering colleagues where your APIs are consumed across different surfaces. Take part in architecture discussions, code reviews and mentoring of graduate developers.
What We're Looking For
Strong hands-on software development experience, ideally 6-10 years, with the majority in .NET/C#. Recent experience with modern .NET, ideally .NET 8 or later. Blazor experience. Strong Azure experience, including App Service or Container Apps, Azure SQL, API Management and Azure DevOps pipelines. Experience modernising legacy systems, ideally using strangler-fig or similar incremental migration approaches. Good understanding of REST API design, microservices and event-driven architecture patterns. Practical day-to-day use of AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code or similar. Identity and authentication experience, including Entra ID/Azure AD, OAuth2 or OIDC. Comfortable working with SQL Server or Azure SQL data modelling, performance and migration activities. Clear communication skills and the confidence to work in a small permanent team where engineers take ownership from design through to delivery.
