It’s a whisky business choosing your next prison…erm…company, I meant company.

They throw around words like ‘autonomy’, ‘freedom’ and ‘independence’ like confetti, but when the work starts, you quickly realise the words are as hollow as an empty barrel.

So where better to seek honesty than a disruptive alcoholic drinks group that sticks two fingers up to silly policies, internal politics and the corporate hamster wheel?

A company ONLY hiring .NET developers who want to take ownership of a product from beginning to end and are comfortable being at the very centre of things.

You’ll join a 40-person tech team where your work matters, your ideas make a difference, and you’ll see the fruit of your decisions quickly with multiple daily deployments to over 22 million users annually.

There are two tech stacks: an older Web Forms e-commerce platform and a more modern microservices framework built on RabbitMQ called Nucleus.

They’re constantly modernising, but you need to be pragmatic enough to know you’ll evolve existing legacy systems and build new things in the more modern environment.

You’ll talk to stakeholders, see things from a business and user perspective and work with product managers and architects to build out the requirements and technical design.

Coding is part of the job, but you’ll touch on day-to-day delivery, project management, dealing with non-technical problems, and being responsible for the quality/success of the new features.

This role isn’t for you if you just want to code and don’t like wearing so many hats.

Still, if you take ownership and have the skills to do that well, the rewards can be massive, as the company isn’t scared of rapidly progressing salaries above the very top of the market for people like you.

Salary aside, it’s an inclusive company that cares more about outcomes than clock-watching. You’ll enjoy true flexibility, including unlimited holidays and remote working.

• Role - Senior .NET Developer
• Salary / Headline Benefits – Up to £90,000 (maybe more for exceptional people), unlimited holidays, Bupa and Babylon healthcare, and significant staff discounts.
• Remote Work – UK-based only; fully remote or hybrid from the Tonbridge office.
• Visa Sponsorship – Not available

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

You’re a backend .NET developer with experience working on e-commerce platforms that include elements like SEO, shopping baskets, checkouts, and payments.

We’re looking for the best developers, not just those with loads of experience or high current salaries; you could have five years of experience but embody that multi-skilled owner profile.

If you’ve spent most of your career working for massive corporate businesses, think carefully about applying because it’s the opposite of a take-a-ticket, controlled, sanitised working environment full of corporate posturing and politics.

HOW TO APPLY:

Don't worry if your CV is not up to date. We’ll deal with that later if needed.
