This is a great opportunity to work across a portfolio of digital products, including platforms within the contracts, project management and document management space. With a strong delivery pipeline and several products in development, you''ll be involved in a varied mix of greenfield and existing-product work.

You''ll join a close-knit development function within a successful SME, working alongside developers, testers and senior stakeholders. While this is not a formal people-management role, you will have the opportunity to provide technical guidance, share knowledge and help shape development best practice.

• Work across the full development lifecycle, including coding, code reviews, testing, releases and cloud delivery
• Contribute to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, ticket refinement and technical discussions
• Help break down larger features and balance delivery priorities with technical debt

• Previous experience of mentoring, technical leadership, code reviews, planning or technical-debt management
• A genuine interest in AI tools and their responsible use in software development
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams

You''ll be a technically strong developer who is also approachable, pragmatic and team-focused. You''ll enjoy sharing ideas and knowledge, taking ownership of your work and contributing to a positive engineering culture.

The business is looking for someone who is curious, accountable and keen to keep learning - someone who understands that great software is built through strong collaboration as well as technical ability.

• Salary up to -65,000, depending on experience
• Annual discretionary bonus
• Private medical cover
• Pension contributions matched up to 4%
• 25 days'' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service
• Additional day off over the Christmas period
