You’ll play a key role in designing and building scalable cloud-native services, while also contributing to application development.

Our platform combines C# .NET application development with Java-based streaming solutions, including emerging work in real-time processing using Apache Flink. While prior streaming experience isn’t essential, a genuine interest in growing into this space is important.

• Working with both SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL and MongoDB)

• Applying infrastructure-as-code practices using AWS CloudFormation

• Supporting application development in C# .NET, including RESTful APIs and system integrations

• Leading code reviews and promoting high standards of coding, testing and engineering best practice

• Providing technical leadership and mentoring to other developers

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, integrated solutions

• Working with large-scale data systems, including ETL processes and cloud-based data platforms

This will be suited to you if…

• You have strong, hands-on experience designing and building solutions on AWS

• You have at least 4 years’ hands-on experience working with C# / .NET

• You are proficient in a compiled programming language such as C# .NET or Java

• You enjoy building scalable, cloud-native systems and solving complex technical challenges

• You have experience with RESTful API design and working with both SQL and NoSQL databases

• You are comfortable working with event-driven systems, message queues and real-time data streams

• You have experience (or strong interest) in data engineering and streaming technologies such as Apache Flink

• You are confident applying infrastructure-as-code principles (e.g. CloudFormation)

• You are comfortable working with data at scale and building or maintaining data pipelines

• You have a collaborative mindset and enjoy mentoring and supporting others

• You take ownership of your work and are driven to deliver high-quality solutions at pace

• You communicate clearly and can work effectively across technical and non-technical teams

• You are willing and able to work on-site at the JCB World Parts Centre in Uttoxeter
