The Opportunity

We're working with a well-established public sector organisation looking for an experienced Senior Applications Developer to join its technology team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working across a varied application landscape, combining hands-on development with application support, systems integration, legacy modernisation and continuous improvement.

You'll play a key role in maintaining and enhancing business-critical applications, improving existing systems and helping shape future technology solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Support legacy applications, including upgrades, migrations and modernisation.
• Design and maintain APIs, system integrations and automated data processes.
• Investigate and resolve complex application issues, providing technical support and root-cause analysis.
• Take ownership of applications throughout their lifecycle, ensuring reliability, security and performance.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders, suppliers and technical teams to deliver improvements.
• Support releases, testing, documentation and knowledge transfer.

Skills & Experience

We're looking for someone with a strong background in application development and support, ideally including:

• C# / .NET / SQL Server development experience.
• Experience supporting and maintaining legacy or bespoke applications.
• Strong knowledge of APIs, integrations and relational databases.
• Experience with application troubleshooting, maintenance and enhancements.
• Understanding of Agile development, source control and release management.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar applications and technologies.

Desirable experience:

• SSIS, SSAS or ETL processes.
• Power BI, Power Platform or SharePoint.
• Azure or other cloud technologies.
• ITIL or structured IT service management environments.

You don't need experience with every technology listed. We're particularly interested in developers who are adaptable, technically capable and comfortable working across a mixture of modern and legacy systems.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Excellent flexibility, with full-time, part-time and remote working arrangements considered.
• Opportunity to work across a diverse range of applications and technologies.
• A varied role combining development, support, integrations and modernisation.
• Join a collaborative, small technical team where your expertise will make a genuine impact.
• Work on meaningful technology projects supporting essential public services.
