Senior Software Developer

Senior Software Developer

North West England | C#/.NET | Advanced Analytics | AI & Data

If you're a Senior Software Developer looking for something beyond standard application development, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, advanced analytics, data science and next-generation manufacturing technology.

You'll be working on complex systems that turn real-world production data into software-driven insight, while helping shape and evolve a platform that is central to how advanced manufacturing operations are run.

The Role

You'll take a senior role within a highly technical development environment, building and evolving sophisticated software across analytics, production, quality and process optimisation.

Rather than being restricted to one area of the stack, you'll have the freedom to work across the full development life cycle.

Understanding complex problems, designing solutions, writing code, testing, deploying and seeing your work used in a real operational environment.

There's also genuine scope to explore new technologies, prototype ideas and investigate emerging approaches to solving technical problems.

Role Responsibilities:

• Build and enhance sophisticated software using C# and .NET.
• Design, develop and optimise MS SQL databases and T-SQL.
• Work with large and complex datasets generated from production and R&D environments.
• Develop applications across advanced analytics, production, quality control and process data.
• Work with modern Front End technologies including React and JavaScript.
• Use Python where appropriate for data, analytics and technical projects.
• Contribute to architecture, design patterns, CI/CD and engineering best practice.
• Work closely with technical and operational teams to turn complex requirements into high-quality software.
• Mentor less experienced developers and contribute to the wider technical direction.
• Investigate emerging technologies and develop prototypes that could influence future products and platforms.

The Technical Challenge

• The role has a particularly interesting data and analytical dimension.
• You'll be working alongside concepts including:
• Machine Learning Data Science Bayesian Methods Gaussian Processes Probability Statistics

You don't need to be a Data Scientist, but experience in these areas would give you an excellent opportunity to apply your knowledge within a highly practical software engineering environment.

Essential Skills:

• Significant commercial C#/.NET experience.
• Strong MS SQL/T-SQL development and database design skills.
• Experience building robust Back End software and business-critical applications.
• Knowledge of React, JavaScript, Python, CI/CD and software design patterns.
• Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail.
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Engineering or a related discipline.
• The ability to work independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ideally, exposure to ML, statistics, Bayesian modelling or probabilistic methods.

This is a role for someone who wants technical depth, variety and ownership.

You'll be solving genuinely complex problems, working with advanced data and analytics, influencing technical decisions and seeing your software operate in a real-world environment.

If you're a C# developer who enjoys challenging engineering problems and wants to move closer to AI, analytics and advanced technology, this is a particularly strong opportunity.
