We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.

This is a Hybrid role working from our Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, or London offices.

As a Senior Fullstack Developer at Waracle, you will be a pivotal technical leader, using your expertise across both frontend and backend technologies. Beyond writing high-quality code, you will shape the technical direction for complex digital applications, mentor high-performing teams, and drive the adoption of best practices. This role demands deep expertise in front end technologies such as React and Vue, coupled with strong proficiency in C# and .NET for the backend. You will be at the forefront of designing, developing, and deploying robust, scalable, and high-performance end-to-end solutions that truly solve our clients' challenges.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Architect and Develop Solutions: Design and deliver robust, scalable full-stack solutions for end-to-end features and small subsystems.
• Ensure Quality and Standards: Drive code quality through peer reviews, enforcing technical standards, and guiding comprehensive testing strategies (unit, integration, UI, performance, security, accessibility).
• Lead Feature Delivery: Act as the technical lead for features and workstreams, managing execution, translating complex business objectives into technical requirements, and mitigating project risks.
• Improve Efficiency and Automation: Proactively introduce automation and CI/CD pipelines to enhance workflow efficiency and improve sprint velocity.
• Technical Communication and Representation: Confidently present technical demos to clients, explain complex trade-offs in plain language, and represent the company externally (e.g., meetups, recruitment).
• Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing: Mentor junior colleagues in craft and process, run knowledge-sharing sessions, and contribute to the technical body of knowledge.

• Full-Stack Delivery: Proven experience in designing, developing, and delivering full-stack applications (SFIA 5-7 competence), acting as a technical lead for workstream delivery.
• Front-End Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in modern front-end languages and frameworks, including React, Vue, and/or Umbraco, with a strong track record of improving application accessibility and quality.
• Back-End Systems & APIs: Proven track record delivering robust backend systems and APIs, demonstrating strong skills in .NET and C#, underpinned by deep practical knowledge of application security and defensive coding principles.
• DevOps and Workflow: Experience with modern DevOps practices, including CI/CD, defining build/release pipelines, and managing complex Git workflows.
• Technical Leadership: Demonstrated ability to define clear technical requirements by translating complex business needs, combined with a focus on mentoring colleagues and improving application performance.
