Role: Senior Software Developer
Location: Nottinghamshire
Working Arrangement: Hybrid – 2 days/week in the office
Salary: Up to £65k
Your Opportunity
You’re a hands-on Senior Software Developer who enjoys solving complex problems, shaping technical direction, and seeing your ideas make a real impact. This role gives you the chance to take ownership of a mature software platform while directly influencing its future roadmap and delivering meaningful new functionality used by real customers.
You’ll work in an agile environment where your experience matters. From sprint planning through to delivery, you’ll be trusted to make sound technical decisions, build robust solutions, and help guide the team toward high-quality outcomes. This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, technical depth, and being relied upon.
Your Role
As a Senior Software Developer, you’ll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining reliable, scalable software that supports customers in managing and growing their businesses. You’ll write clean, maintainable code, contribute ideas to future development, and play a key role in delivering development sprints to agreed timelines.
You’ll support and motivate an agile development team, helping to coordinate sprint activity, complete code reviews, and ensure stories are delivered to a high standard. Alongside your hands-on development work, you’ll coach others, share knowledge, and help raise the overall technical capability of the team.
Strong communication is essential. You’ll work closely with developers, testers, business analysts, and stakeholders, confidently discussing stories, processes, and low-level architecture with both technical and non-technical audiences.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll design and implement feature enhancements, maintenance updates, and new technical capabilities across the platform, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and future-proof. You’ll build and maintain server-side services, APIs, and databases that support client-side applications, while analysing issues across multiple layers of the system to identify and resolve root causes.
You’ll take ownership of sprint and release activity, helping to plan, prioritise, and coordinate work based on risk, dependencies, and delivery timelines. Code quality will be a key focus, with regular code reviews, documentation creation, and adherence to best-practice development standards.
Throughout your work, you’ll demonstrate ownership, accountability, and strong decision-making, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality outcomes.
What You’ll Bring
You’ll have strong commercial experience with ASP.NET using C# in .NET Core or .NET 6, alongside solid experience with ASP.NET, MVC, Web APIs, Git-based version control, HTML, JavaScript, and Microsoft SQL Server. You’ll bring a strong theoretical and practical understanding of modern software development principles, including security best practices.
Experience with front-end technologies such as React, Blazor, or legacy AngularJS will be beneficial, as will familiarity with Entity Framework, Kibana, Grafana, test-driven development, and agile ways of working. Exposure to event-driven platforms, microservices architecture, containerisation, Kubernetes, or Microsoft Azure would be an advantage.
Beyond technical skills, you’ll be proactive, organised, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. You’ll communicate clearly and professionally, contribute confidently in meetings, and build strong working relationships across teams. A commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing is essential.
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to step into a senior, hands-on role where your expertise genuinely matters. You’ll influence technical direction, take real ownership of delivery, and work in an environment that supports growth, learning, and continuous improvement. If you’re looking for a role that balances challenge, responsibility, and long-term progression, this could be the right move for you.
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Cloud Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

anding a job in cloud computing can be highly competitive — especially in the UK market where demand far outpaces supply in many segments. Whether you’re aiming for roles in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Site Reliability, Cloud Architecture, Security, Data/Analytics, or Platform Operations, hiring managers screen applications quickly and with specific priorities in mind. Hiring managers don’t read every detail at first; they scan for critical signals in the first 10–20 seconds. These early signals determine whether your CV gets read more closely, whether your LinkedIn profile gets clicked, and whether you’re invited to interview. This guide breaks down, in practical terms, exactly what hiring managers look for first in cloud computing applications — and what you should emphasise in your CV, cover letter and portfolio to stand out on www.cloudcomputingjobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in Cloud Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cloud computing underpins almost every modern digital service. From financial systems and healthcare platforms to AI, e-commerce, government infrastructure and cybersecurity, the cloud is now the default operating environment for UK organisations. Demand for cloud professionals has grown rapidly, with roles spanning architecture, engineering, security, DevOps, platform operations and cost optimisation. Salaries remain high, and vacancies remain stubbornly difficult to fill. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with computer science, IT and software engineering degrees, employers across the UK report a persistent problem: Too many candidates are not job-ready for real cloud computing roles. This is not a question of intelligence or motivation. It is a structural skills gap between what universities teach and what cloud jobs actually require. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cloud computing.
