Are you an experienced software leader eager to architect and build high-impact, greenfield solutions from the ground up? We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to spearhead innovative development projects that sit at the heart of our clients’ mission-critical operations.

This is more than just a technical role—you’ll be the strategic force behind a high-performing engineering team, shaping best practices, driving modern software architecture, and delivering intelligent systems across the Microsoft stack, both on-premise and in the cloud.

You’ll work in a dynamic environment where your voice matters, your expertise is valued, and your leadership shapes the future of cutting-edge software tools and platforms.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and Deliver: Lead the design and end-to-end development of bespoke software systems tailored to complex business needs.
  • Lead by Example: Be a hands-on technical leader, mentoring engineers, championing high-quality code, and promoting engineering excellence.
  • Drive Optimisation: Own the continuous improvement of existing applications and systems with a focus on performance and scalability.
  • Partner Across the Business: Collaborate with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to understand business goals and translate them into robust technical solutions.
  • Champion Best Practices: Establish and enforce development standards—code quality, testing, and documentation—across the lifecycle.
  • Guide the Vision: Evaluate new tools and technologies, influence architectural direction, and lead technical decision-making.
  • Measure What Matters: Set and track KPIs, drive performance metrics, and ensure delivery milestones are met with precision.
  • Plan and Deliver: Estimate project timelines and coordinate with cross-functional teams to keep development on track.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in .NET/C# software development.
  • Proven experience in leading or mentoring development teams and delivering complex software projects.
  • Expertise in SQL Server and working with large datasets or data warehousing environments.
  • Strong understanding of UI/UX design principles and user-centred development.
  • Hands-on experience with Microservices, Message Queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka), and API development.
  • Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • A mindset geared toward innovation, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Must have EU citizenship or a Stamp 4 Visa.

 

This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on greenfield initiatives, mentor a talented team, and shape scalable, modern systems that make a real difference.
