Software Development

• Design, develop and maintain custom software applications using the Microsoft Development Stack
• Develop solutions using technologies such as C#, T-SQL, ASP.NET, JavaScript, CSS and other relevant tools
• Use appropriate front-end and back-end frameworks, including Angular and Node.js, to build responsive web applications, database-driven applications, mobile solutions and websites
• Write clean, efficient, maintainable and secure code in accordance with established coding standards and industry best practices
• Enhance and modernise existing applications to improve functionality, maintainability, security and performance

Full-stack Development

• Work across all layers of the development stack, including database design, server-side logic, application integrations and front-end implementation
• Design and optimise database structures, queries and application components
• Ensure that software components are properly integrated and operate as part of a cohesive solution
• Consider application performance, scalability, maintainability and security throughout the development process
• Identify and address technical limitations, dependencies and integration risks

Requirements Analysis and Solution Design

• Engage with business analysts, IT team members and relevant stakeholders to understand business and system requirements
• Translate business needs and problem statements into clear technical specifications and development approaches
• Assess technical feasibility and recommend appropriate solutions
• Identify gaps, risks or ambiguities in requirements and contribute towards resolving them before development begins
• Produce or maintain relevant technical documentation, including solution designs, development specifications and system information

Technical Owner and Delivery

• Take ownership of assigned development projects or significant components of larger initiatives
• Plan and prioritise development activities to support agreed delivery timelines
• Manage development tasks independently while maintaining visibility of progress, risks and dependencies
• Provide realistic technical input into development planning and delivery decisions
• Ensure that completed solutions meet the agreed functional, technical, quality and security requirements
• Support deployments, implementation activities and post-release monitoring where required

Technical Guidance and Mentorship

• Provide guidance and support to junior developers on coding practices, problem-solving and technical implementation
• Review code and provide clear, constructive feedback
• Promote consistent development standards and secure coding practices across the team
• Assist junior developers with troubleshooting complex issues and strengthening their technical understanding
• Encourage knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the development team

Testing, Quality Assurance and Security

• Conduct and oversee appropriate testing to confirm software functionality, reliability and performance
• Identify, investigate and resolve software defects and technical issues
• Carry out code reviews and ensure that identified improvements are addressed
• Apply secure coding practices to protect business data, applications and systems
• Ensure that solutions are developed in accordance with relevant technical, security and quality standards
• Support regression testing and confirm that software changes do not negatively affect existing functionality

Maintenance, Support and Continuous Improvement

• Investigate and resolve complex application incidents and recurring technical problems
• Perform root-cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective solutions
• Maintain, enhance and optimise existing applications
• Identify opportunities to improve development processes, system performance and application usability
• Evaluate relevant technologies, frameworks and methodologies that may strengthen current or future solutions
• Contribute towards the ongoing improvement of technical standards, documentation and development practices
