If you're experienced with .NET, C#, and WinForms-and excited by the idea of contributing to greenfield projects with technologies like React, microservices, and cloud-this could be a great fit.

You'll join a collaborative Scrum team and contribute to a mix of:

• New feature development - enhancing the existing enterprise WinForms application

Modernising Toward:

• Solid commercial experience with C# and .NET

• Comfortable working with WinForms (and/or VB.NET)

• Supportive culture - no egos, no blame, just smart people solving hard problems

• Remote-first - just one day/month in the Staffordshire office

• Influence from day one - your voice and ideas will be heard

• 15-minute intro call - an informal chat to explore mutual fit

• Online test - quick coding, literacy, and problem-solving challenges via TestDome

• Technical interview - in-person or remote whiteboard session with the team

• £45,000-£55,000 for strong WinForms developers

• Up to £60,000 for candidates with modern frontend (React/React Native) experience

• Salary sacrifice schemes - company car, cycle to work

• Company socials & wellbeing initiatives

• 25 days holiday (rising to 30 with service) + 8 bank holidays

We're not after 'rockstars'-just curious, thoughtful developers who care about doing good work in a team-first culture. If you're ready to work on meaningful enterprise systems while learning and contributing to modern tech initiatives, we'd love to talk.
