Senior Backend Developer | Up to £75,000 | Manchester (Hybrid, 1-2 days per week)

A Greenfield Platform. A Global Transformation. A Career-Defining Opportunity.

Some roles are just another job. This isn’t one of them.

We’re assembling a world-class engineering team to build something truly groundbreaking - a brand-new, cloud-native, scalable platform that will change the way businesses operate for the foreseeable future. No legacy code, no outdated systems - just a clean slate and the opportunity to shape the future from day one.

Our client is a major force in their industry, embarking on an ambitious technology transformation that will set new standards in digital innovation. They are investing heavily in engineering excellence, and we need outstanding developers to help make it happen.

What makes this different?

• Greenfield engineering - design and build a cutting-edge SaaS platform from scratch.
• Cloud-first architecture - AWS-native solutions with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
• Modern backend stack - .NET 7, running on Linux, containerised with Docker, orchestrated via AWS EKS & ECS.
• Event-driven systems - Kafka, AWS MSK, SNS/SQS, and EventBridge.
• Serverless capabilities - AWS Lambda (Python, JavaScript).
• High-performance data layer - AWS Aurora (MySQL/Postgres), DocumentDB, DynamoDB.
• Fully automated CI/CD pipelines - GitHub Actions.

Who we’re looking for:

• An expert in .NET and AWS, with strong experience in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
• Someone who writes clean, efficient, and scalable code.
• A developer who thrives in agile, high-performance teams, delivering at pace.
• A problem-solver who can design and build systems that are resilient, performant, and future-proof.
• A strong communicator who understands the balance between technical excellence and business needs.
• Someone who wants to make an impact—this is not a back-office role; your work will define the core platform of a major enterprise.

Why join?

• Work on something special - a platform that will shape an industry for years to come.
• No legacy tech - this is modern engineering at its best.
• A highly skilled team - surround yourself with top-tier developers who share your ambition.
• A strong engineering culture - best practices, quality-first approach, and autonomy to innovate.
• A competitive package - up to £75,000 plus benefits.
• Flexibility - hybrid working (1-2 days per week in Manchester).

This is the opportunity that senior backend engineers wait for - to be at the heart of a truly transformative build, where every decision and every line of code matters.

If that sounds like the kind of challenge you’ve been looking for, we should talk.
