Role Title: Senior Software Developer (CMS)

Overview: 

As a Senior Software Developer at DOCOsoft, you will play a key role in the ongoing evolution of our business-critical software used across the London and Global Insurance Markets.

You will operate with a high degree of autonomy within a mature ASP.NET-based platform, contributing to complex feature development, architectural improvements, and production stability. This role combines strong hands-on engineering with system-level thinking in an environment where correctness, scalability, security, and data integrity are essential.

You will work within a cross-functional agile team delivering highly available, secure applications across on-premise and Azure-hosted environments.

Responsibilities: 

• Design and implement complex features and enhancements within a large, established .NET application and associated services.
• Produce robust, maintainable, and well-tested code aligned with architectural best practices and long-term system sustainability.
• Contribute to architectural and design decisions, applying patterns such as clean architecture, SOLID principles, CQRS, and domain-driven design where appropriate.
• Lead by example in engineering quality, including unit testing, test-driven development, and peer code reviews.
• Optimise and maintain SQL Server data structures, queries, and performance-sensitive components.
• Diagnose and resolve complex defects, including production issues, performing root cause analysis where required.
• Collaborate closely with Product, QA, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Data stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable, mission-critical solutions.
• Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to other developers within the team.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development standards, tooling, and engineering practices.

Key Requirements: 

• 6+ years’ professional software development experience delivering and supporting production systems.
• Strong C# and modern .NET (.NET Core / .NET 6+) experience in commercial environments.
• Deep understanding of object-oriented design, clean architecture, SOLID principles, CQRS, and domain-driven design concepts.
• Strong experience designing and developing RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Web API and OpenAPI/Swagger.
• Strong SQL Server and T-SQL expertise, including performance optimisation.
• Experience building and operating distributed or microservices-based systems.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., xUnit, Moq) and applying TDD where appropriate.
• Strong Git-based development practices and experience working in collaborative code review environments.
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum teams delivering highly available, secure applications.
• Advanced understanding of identity and access management concepts, including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML-based SSO.
• Experience developing secure, scalable applications deployed on Azure or AWS using IaaS and PaaS services.
• Exposure to modern client-side frameworks (Vue.js, React, or Angular) to support full-stack collaboration.
