Backoffice Software Engineer - Senior .NET

About the role
At Moorepay, we build Payroll and HR software that simplifies compliance, supports great people management, and ensures employees are paid accurately and on time, every time.

We're proud to deliver award-winning software and an employee experience that reflects the quality of our solutions.

Role Overview

As a Senior .NET Engineer, you won't just build software; you'll shape the digital core of Payroll and HR products that thousands of UK businesses depend on.
