Principal Backend Developer (C# / .NET) Once a developer. Always a technologist. Now it's time to lead delivery. You've written the code. You've built the systems. You've solved the problems. Now you want to be the person driving the whole thing forward.

We're looking for a Technical Delivery Lead who knows software engineering from the inside out. Someone who started their career building applications with C# and .NET, understands what great engineering looks like and has since moved into leading teams, owning delivery and making things happen.
