Job Description
We're looking for a strong Senior or Lead Software Engineer who has worked in a high-quality product engineering environment and can bring those standards with them. You'll remain hands‐on, lead by example and help progressively modernise a PHP/SQL Server monolith towards a modern .Net, React and PostgreSQL ecosystem.
n
AI‐assisted engineering is also an important part of the brief. We're looking for someone who has moved beyond basic Copilot/ChatGPT usage and can demonstrate thoughtful, structured use of GenAI across real software delivery.
n
Why this role
n
n
Lead & lift engineering standards – bring solid SDLC, architecture and product engineering practices from a mature SaaS/product environment.
n
Modernise a complex platform – work hands‐on across PHP and the emerging .NET/React/AWS stack,



progressively decomposing a business‐critical legacy monolith.
n
Shape AI‐enabled engineering – apply GenAI meaningfully across the SDLC, establishing structured approaches, guardrails and better ways of working.
n
n
You'll ideally have broad full‐stack engineering experience, strong systems thinking and a track record of owning complex problems through to production. PHP/.Net experience is valuable, but mindset, engineering quality and willingness to work pragmatically with a legacy estate are just as important.
n
This will suit an engineer who enjoys messy technical problems, hands‐on leadership and meaningful modernisation rather than simply maintaining the status quo.
