Our software pays 1 in 6 UK employees, supports over 12,000 schools, and is relied on by 91 of the top 100 UK accountancy firms.\nWe're a Great Place to Work® certified employer, recognised for our commitment to well-being, inclusion and development - and we're growing fast.\nIRIS provides integrated software across accountancy, finance, HR, payroll, education and business operations. Our approved company material confirms that IRIS supports more than 100,000 customers across 135 countries.\nAs an L3 Software Engineer, you'll help develop the applications and data platforms behind that technology. You'll take ownership of small to medium-sized features through their complete lifecycle, delivering scalable, maintainable solutions and contributing to technical decisions within your feature scope.\nIt's a hands-on role with meaningful ownership, backed by experienced colleagues when you're tackling broader or more complex engineering challenges.\nAbout the Team You'll Join\nYou'll work within an Agile, cross-functional environment, collaborating with Product Owners, QA, Design and fellow engineers to refine user stories and turn requirements into robust production software.\nYour contribution won't stop at writing code. You'll take part in code reviews, pair programming and knowledge sharing, mentor junior colleagues and contribute to technical and architectural discussions.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nYou'll:\nDeliver full-stack features from analysis through to production.\n\nBuild backend services using C#, .NET Core,ASP.NETCore Web APIs and REST.\n\nDevelop with modern frontend frameworks such as Angular, React or Vue.js, alongside TypeScript.\n\nDesign and work with SQL Server and potentially CosmosDB or DynamoDB.\n\nBuild and maintain microservices and robust APIs.\n\nDeploy containerised applications with Docker and Kubernetes using Azure or AWS.\n\nExtend CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Pipelines or GitHub Actions.\n\nApply automated testing and TDD/BDD practices, plus security and quality controls.\n\nUse observability tools such as DataDog, Application Insights or Amazon CloudWatch.\n\nUse AI-assisted engineering tools critically and responsibly across design, development, testing and debugging.\n\nMentor junior engineers and contribute to effective Agile delivery.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nYou'll bring 2-4 years of professional software development experience and a track record of delivering software using Agile methodologies.\nYou'll need strong .NET/C# backend development skills, SQL Server experience and knowledge of scalable web applications and cloud deployments. We're also looking for experience or working knowledge across CI/CD, containerisation, Infrastructure as Code, automated testing, observability and clean architecture/SOLID principles.\nFrontend experience with Angular, React or Vue.js is valuable, although a backend specialist with working frontend knowledge can also fit the role.\nYou'll be comfortable owning routine work independently, working with guidance on more complex features and providing technical support or mentoring to junior colleagues.\nExperience with regulated or complex domains, event-driven architectures, GraphQL, real-time technologies, NoSQL databases or modern UI architecture patterns would be advantageous rather than essential.\nWhy Join Us?\nThis role offers the combination of hands-on engineering ownership and continued development. You'll broaden your skills across full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, modern DevOps and AI-assisted engineering while developing leadership skills through mentoring and architectural contribution.\nYou'll be contributing to IRIS's broader cloud transformation with technology used across accountancy, payroll, HR and education, while being supported by an experienced engineering community.\nWhy You’ll Love Working Here\nImpact: Your work will influence millions globally.\n\nGrowth: Continuous learning and career development opportunities.\n\nBelonging: A culture that celebrates diversity and empowers every individual.\n\nReady to Apply?\nClick Apply - we’re excited to learn about your unique perspective and experience.
