Senior Software Engineer

Location: Central Lancashire (onsite/hybrid pattern TBC)

Salary: Up to £49,000 + benefits

The company

A well-known UK travel brand, part of a large global group. It has an established in-house digital team that owns and develops a high-traffic customer-facing website.

The role

You’ll join a team of around five developers as its senior engineer. You’ll take ownership of the technical direction of a major consumer website: maintaining and enhancing the existing platform, delivering new features, and helping to guide and mentor a capable mid-level team. You’d be replacing a long-serving senior, so this is a real chance to step in and make the role your own.

What you’ll be doing

• Developing and enhancing a busy, customer-facing website across the full stack.
• Delivering new features from design through to release.
• Acting as the senior voice in the team: reviewing code, sharing knowledge and supporting less experienced developers.
• Working in an agile environment with CI/CD through Azure DevOps.

What you’ll need

• Commercial full-stack experience with .NET.
• Strong front-end skills with React (or a similar modern framework).
• Experience with Umbraco CMS.
• Hands-on experience with Azure and Azure DevOps.
• A collaborative approach, with the confidence to lead by example in a small team.

Why apply

• Senior title and ownership of a major web platform.
• A small, close-knit team where your impact will be visible.
• The stability and backing of a global group.
• A quick, two-stage interview process.

I’ve left out the client name, the brand, the exact town and anything about the previous hire. “Central Lancashire” is used rather than Preston, since a travel brand in Preston is easy to identify. If you’re happy to show the town, swap it back in.
