Mid-Level C# Developer

About the role

This role sits within our Software & Firmware team - a nine strong, multi discipline group responsible for three interconnected areas of our product ecosystem:

• Low level sign side firmware (C) that monitors and operates sign hardware, including environmental systems and display signalling
• Higher level sign side application services (C#) managing all aspects of sign operations
• Server side back end systems (C#) that manage and monitor the wider sign estate

We are looking for a mid level C# developer to contribute primarily to the sign side application services layer. The work is a compelling mix of contributing to new designs and maintaining and improving existing systems - and experience with the latter is a genuinely valuable source of insight for the former.

This is a full time role, 4 days in the office, 1 day from home.
