At Storyteq, we help some of the world's biggest brands simplify their marketing operations, streamline creative production and bring campaigns to life faster.

We're looking for a Mid-Level Software Engineer (C#/.NET) to join our MediaCentre team, working on a platform used by major retail brands to manage everything from campaign planning and production through to delivering marketing materials across stores.

You'll be working on a mix of existing applications and exciting new features, collaborating with engineers, Product Owners and technical specialists to continuously improve the platform.

We're looking for someone with solid C#/.NET experience who's comfortable working independently but also enjoys being part of a collaborative team. You don't need to know everything, but you should be curious, proactive and keen to develop your technical skills.

• Build, maintain and integrate REST APIs to support the platform's functionality.
• Work with SQL databases and Entity Framework to implement and optimise data access.
• Write and maintain automated tests to ensure code quality, reliability and performance.
• Use Docker and established CI/CD pipelines to support development, testing and deployment.
• Investigate and troubleshoot application issues, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.
• Participate in code reviews, share knowledge and contribute to continuous improvements.
• Collaborate with senior engineers, Solution Architects and Platform Engineers on technical designs and more complex challenges.
• Communicate progress, challenges and potential risks clearly with the wider team.
• Identify opportunities to improve existing applications, development processes and technical documentation.
