Full Stack Software Developer

Aspire Software company overview

Aspire Software is looking for a full stack software developer to join our team in Lebanon. Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

About the job

As a full stack developer you’ll design, build, and maintain features across the full stack — from database and back-end services through to the front-end screens our customers use every day. You’ll work within a collaborative, cross-functional team to solve real technical challenges and deliver improvements that thousands of grant managers rely on across the UK and beyond. We’re a remote-first company, so you’ll collaborate with teammates across locations and are trusted to do your best work wherever you’re based.

This is a hands-on development role for someone who’s ready to take ownership of features and grow their skills quickly. You’ll contribute to technical discussions, learn from experienced engineers, and help raise the quality of everything we ship.

Just as importantly, this is an AI-native role. We expect you to use modern AI tooling to problem-solve and deliver faster every day, while also helping us build AI capabilities directly into the Flexigrant platform. If using AI to accelerate your work is already second nature to you, you’ll fit right in.

Key responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure features across the full stack

Write clean, efficient, well-documented code that adheres to best practices

Use AI tooling as a core part of your daily workflow to problem-solve, write, review, and ship code faster

Help build AI-powered features into the Flexigrant platform

Contribute to technical discussions and architectural decisions within the team

Take part in code reviews to maintain quality and share knowledge

Debug and resolve issues across the application stack

Work with the product owner and team to refine requirements and turn them into working software

Participate in agile ceremonies — sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives

Contribute to continuous improvement of our development processes and practices

Help support and maintain the production environment

Stay current with emerging technologies, with a particular focus on advances in AI

Requirements

2+ years of professional software development experience building secure, scalable applications in a fast-paced agile environment

Strong proficiency in C# / VB.NET and the .NET stack, including .NET Core and ASP.NET (MVC / Web API)

Solid front-end skills across HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript

Experience coding responsive web applications for a range of devices and browsers

Strong relational database skills, particularly MS SQL Server and T-SQL, including schema design, data modelling, and query optimisation

Good understanding of application architecture and software design principles (SOLID, DRY, object-oriented design)

Understanding of security best practices in software development

Knowledge of RESTful API design and implementation, and service-based architecture

Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure

Experience with version control systems

Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Ability to write automated tests (unit, integration, etc.)

Experience using Claude Code and/or other AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as part of day-to-day development

Experience using agentic AI software development lifecycles and workflows

Ability to translate requirements from meetings and conversations into user stories or technical specs

Working AI-native

AI is central to how we build, not an afterthought. This role calls for someone who is AI-native: you already reach for AI to accelerate your work, and you’re excited to help embed AI deeper into both our development process and our product. We’ll explore your AI fluency in the interview, so be ready to talk through — and show — how you work.

What “AI-native” means to us:

You use AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot as a natural, daily part of how you write, review, test, and ship code

You have experience with agentic AI software development lifecycles and workflows — directing AI agents to plan, build, and iterate on real work, rather than using AI only for autocomplete or to answer one-off questions and queries

You know how to prompt, steer, and critically review AI output, keeping quality and security high rather than blindly accepting suggestions

You’re keen to help design and build AI-powered features into the Flexigrant platform

You stay on top of a fast-moving field, continually adopting new tools and techniques that make you and the team more effective

The bar here is high: we’re looking for someone at least as AI-native as our strongest engineers, and ideally someone who can raise it further.

Personal characteristics

Strong problem-solving skills with attention to detail

Excellent written and verbal communication, able to be clear, concise, and accurate with both technical and non-technical audiences

Self-motivated, with the ability to work independently when needed

Collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional environments

Genuine passion for learning and staying current with technology, especially AI

Pragmatic approach to development, with a focus on delivering value

Resilience and adaptability when facing technical challenges

Customer-focused mindset that considers end-user impact
