Role Summary

As a Senior Developer specialising in C# .NET, you will be a pivotal member of our Software Development team, driving an AI-first approach to the creation and enhancement of secure, responsive web-based finance platforms. These platforms will modernise and extend core PeopleSoft finance capabilities, delivering improved usability, performance, and scalability through contemporary web technologies.
