  • Blazor experience.
  • Strong Azure experience, including App Service or Container Apps, Azure SQL, API Management and Azure DevOps pipelines.

  • Identity and authentication experience, including Entra ID/Azure AD, OAuth2 or OIDC.
  • Comfortable working with SQL Server or Azure SQL data modelling, performance and migration activities.
  • Clear communication skills and the confidence to work in a small permanent team where engineers take ownership from design through to delivery.
  • Exposure to React or React Native, particularly where APIs support web or mobile products.
  • Experience with retrieval-augmented generation, vector search or integrating LLM-based features into production products.
  • Experience working in a scale-up, transformation programme or small permanent technology team.
