The Senior Developer will play an integral part in delivering bespoke line-of-business applications for our clients in a range of modern development tools. These applications tend to either be internal-facing, or provide a specialised service to their customers, rather than sales or marketing platforms.

The role will focus on the design and implementation of web-based and mobile application user-interfaces and client-side business logic; however, the candidate should also expect to be involved in the implementation of C# web-services and other server-side components to persist data and deliver notifications.

When working on projects with significant visual assets or branding requirements, the applicant will work with a graphic designer to implement a user interface to their designs. However, on the majority of projects, the Senior Developer will produce a visual design for the interface themselves using the client’s brand guidelines and designing screens from the client’s functional requirements in collaboration with the Advanced Technical Architect.

This is a client-facing role giving the opportunity for the applicant to present designs to clients and review implemented functionality. Work location will vary by project, being a mix of working on-site at client premises, working from Advanced offices, and remote working.

The role will suit someone who:

· Is capable of quickly understanding the varied business processes of our clients and working across multiple industry sectors

· Has a good knowledge of human-computer interaction and of designing an interface that is efficient for experienced users whilst being welcoming to new users

· Is capable of leading other developers and testers

· Is flexible and willing to work with different technology stacks on different projects

· Is willing to maintain a role in server-side development whilst focusing on the front-end

We have an immediate requirement for a candidate to work as part of a team delivering a web-application with an Angular browser-based front-end and Asp.Net core web services hosted in Azure, and making use of multiple Azure services.

Qualifications:

· Bachelor's degree in a numerate subject (including Computer Science) or equivalent work experience.

· Proven ability to work in a team composed of colleagues and client staff

· At least 5 years’ experience with JavaScript, 2 years in a senior role

· 2+ years’ experience of Angular front-end development

· Experience of working in Agile/Scrum development team and use of an agile work-management platform such as Jira, Team Foundation Server, Azure Dev Ops or similar

· Strong analytical and communication skills

· A good understanding of developing secure applications and web services

· Demonstrable capability to write unit-testable code
