Software Engineer (C#, .Net & Visual Studio)

Job Title: Software Engineer

Join a purpose-driven tech team where innovation leads to direct business impact. If you're an experienced C# .NET Developer looking to work on cutting-edge projects in a highly collaborative, agile environment, then this is your opportunity to make a real difference.

Why This Role Stands Out

• A Breadth of Exciting Projects: From AI-powered analytics and Bluetooth tracking to route optimization and custom API development, you'll be solving real-world problems with modern tech.
• Flexible Workstyle: Choose your start time (from 7am onwards) and look forward to a planned 4-day week, every other week, from 2026.
• Socially Responsible: Be part of a company that's raised nearly £1M for charity and that actively supports local communities and environmental initiatives.
