Who You Are:
You are a skilled technical leader, passionate about building robust, scalable web applications. While strong technical leadership is paramount, you also possess the crucial soft skills to influence and be a key decision-maker within a well-established team. You will lead by example through hands-on contribution.
What You'll Bring:
Proven, recent, hands-on development experience with C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and T-SQL.
Solid understanding of web application architecture, component-driven UI development, and backend integration.
Experience deploying self-hosted applications, including configuration, infrastructure, and security considerations.
Ability to provide architectural clarity and technical mentorship for engineers transitioning from desktop to web development.
Excellent communication and organisational skills, able to set direction and manage priorities effectively.
Experience in early-stage product teams or with accounting/enterprise back-office systems is a plus.
Familiarity with Entity Framework Core, SignalR, or relevant .NET ecosystem tools is preferred.
Exposure to CI/CD, basic infrastructure setup, and cloud/hybrid deployment models, even without dedicated DevOps support, is beneficial.
Strong UI sensibility, capable of creating user-friendly interfaces without a dedicated design team, is a bonus.
