The company

The role
This is a Software Architect role, architecting systems across a few key teams in the business. Working on the flagship product, you will be responsible for System Design, re-architecture as well as some hands-on coding.

For this role, you will need to have strong commercial enterprise-level cloud experience - they primarily use Azure, but AWS and GCP are also acceptable. The teams tech stack typically includes: C#, .NET Core, Web API, Azure, and Angular - all within an Agile Scrum environment.
Skills required

6. Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban, etc.).
