IT Software Engineer

About The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer/Developer with solid commercial experience in Next.js/React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#. The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of MySQL, with exposure to Azure or other cloud platforms being a bonus. This role suits someone with several years of hands‑on experience who can work independently, take ownership of features end‑to‑end, and contribute to technical decisions within a collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain web applications using Next.js/React, focusing on performance and scalability.
• Design and build integrations between applications, APIs, and databases, particularly using MySQL.
• Write clean, maintainable, well‑tested code using JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#.
• Take ownership of features from design through to deployment and support.
• Participate actively in code reviews both giving and receiving constructive feedback.
• Support and mentor more junior members of the team where appropriate.
• Report to and work closely with the Lead Software Engineer to meet project goals and timelines.

This is a hybrid role, at our Wolverhampton NDC, with a minimum of 3 days office. Our office is also not accessible via public transport so own transportation is a must.
