Join Tradify as a Senior Software Engineer (Web) and lead the technical evolution of our platform that's transforming how tradespeople run their businesses. We're looking for an experienced engineer who's passionate about building scalable web applications and excited about leading our transition to React.
As a senior member of our engineering team, you'll be instrumental in shaping the future of our web platform. You'll architect solutions that serve thousands of users globally, mentor junior developers, and drive technical decisions that impact our entire product. This isn't just about writing great code - it's about building systems that scale, leading by example, and helping create a platform that genuinely makes a difference in people's working lives.
You'll work with modern technologies including React, C#, .NET, and SQL Server. Your expertise will guide critical architectural decisions, influence our technical roadmap, and help establish best practices that elevate the entire team. From designing new features to optimising performance, from code reviews to technical mentoring - you'll be at the heart of our engineering excellence.
This is a role for someone who thrives on technical challenges, enjoys collaborative problem-solving, and wants to work somewhere their expertise truly matters. If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited about clean architecture, loves sharing knowledge, and believes the best code is code that others can understand and build upon, we want to talk to you.
