  • Write beautiful code (solo, pairing or mobbing)
  • Continuously deliver value to our customers
  • Contribute technical solutions and ideas to the team backlog
  • Measure and monitor your products’ performance
  • Use performance data to inform sustainability improvements
  • Identify and promote opportunities to improve practices
  • Always keep learning, and upskilling those around you
  • Back your opinions while considering the opinion of others
  • Give and receive feedback - honestly and kindly
  • Grow your career, supported by coaching from a dedicated People Lead

What we're looking for:

  • C# .NET (or other modern full-stack languages and frameworks)
  • AWS (or other cloud infrastructure and service providers)
  • CI/CD (Jenkins, TeamCity, AWS Deploy, etc)
  • SQL Server (or other relational databases)
  • Familiarity with TDD and/or BDD
  • Monitoring tools (New Relic, Sumologic, Datadog, etc)

We also have opportunities involving specialising in Golang, Open ID Connect or IdentityServer.


We’d love to talk to you if you like what you’ve read so far, and have some of the technical skills above. You don’t need to know everything; we’ll teach you the rest.
