Full Stack .NET Developer, C# / .NET 8 / Blazor, Kings Hill, Kent KEY POINTS Software that keeps people alive on live worksites, rail, highways, construction, aviation and energy Hybrid, 2 days a week onsite in Kings Hill, West Malling C# and .NET 8, Blazor / Razor and DAPR React, Angular, Vue or MVC backgrounds also considered Microservices, event-driven with Kafka and Azure Event Hubs Azure and AWS, Docker and Kubernetes Real-time geolocation and IoT telemetry from wearable devices Scope to cross-train into Go Claude Code, LLMs and agentic development workflows used day to day Up to £60,000 depending on experience Right to work in the UK required, no sponsorship available WHAT YOU WOULD BE BUILDING Our client builds a SaaS platform that keeps field workers safe on dangerous sites. Workers wear a device, the platform knows where they are relative to hazard zones, and it alerts before someone walks into one. Live across rail, highways, construction, aviation, water and energy. Trackside, roadworks, airfields. The places where being in the wrong spot at the wrong moment is a fatality rather than a near miss. The software you write stops people being hit by trains and plant machinery. WHY THE ARCHITECTURE LOOKS LIKE IT DOES Position data streams continuously from GNSS, cellular, Bluetooth and UWB devices worn by workers in the field, over poor connectivity, at volume, where a dropped message has a safety consequence. That is why this is microservices with DAPR, event-driven with Kafka and Event Hubs, containerised on Kubernetes across two clouds. Not architecture for its own sake. A system that cannot go down. The other half of the business is connectivity, putting high-speed networking into places that have none, including satellite and private 4G and 5G for critical national infrastructure. That is what makes the product work on a site in the middle of nowhere. THE ROLE Full Stack Developer in the SaaS engineering team, working with Product Owners, UX Designers and Test Engineers. Front to back, turning requirements and designs into production functionality across APIs, microservices, event-driven systems and the wider platform architecture. Blazor and Razor on the front end, so no framework churn. You do not need commercial Blazor experience.

Full Stack .NET Developer, C# / .NET 8 / Blazor, Kings Hill, Kent KEY POINTS Software that keeps people alive on live worksites, rail, highways, construction, aviation and energy Hybrid, 2 days a week onsite in Kings Hill, West Malling C# and .NET 8, Blazor / Razor and DAPR React, Angular, Vue or MVC backgrounds also considered Microservices, event-driven with Kafka and Azure Event Hubs Azure and AWS, Docker and Kubernetes Real-time geolocation and IoT telemetry from wearable devices Scope to cross-train into Go Claude Code, LLMs and agentic development workflows used day to day Up to £60,000 depending on experience Right to work in the UK required, no sponsorship available WHAT YOU WOULD BE BUILDING Our client builds a SaaS platform that keeps field workers safe on dangerous sites. Workers wear a device, the platform knows where they are relative to hazard zones, and it alerts before someone walks into one. Live across rail, highways, construction, aviation, water and energy. Trackside, roadworks, airfields. The places where being in the wrong spot at the wrong moment is a fatality rather than a near miss. The software you write stops people being hit by trains and plant machinery. WHY THE ARCHITECTURE LOOKS LIKE IT DOES Position data streams continuously from GNSS, cellular, Bluetooth and UWB devices worn by workers in the field, over poor connectivity, at volume, where a dropped message has a safety consequence. That is why this is microservices with DAPR, event-driven with Kafka and Event Hubs, containerised on Kubernetes across two clouds. Not architecture for its own sake. A system that cannot go down. The other half of the business is connectivity, putting high-speed networking into places that have none, including satellite and private 4G and 5G for critical national infrastructure. That is what makes the product work on a site in the middle of nowhere. THE ROLE Full Stack Developer in the SaaS engineering team, working with Product Owners, UX Designers and Test Engineers. Front to back, turning requirements and designs into production functionality across APIs, microservices, event-driven systems and the wider platform architecture.
