Senior Developer

About the Role

\n

We're looking for a Senior Developer to join SAL and help shape the future of our

\n

products.

\n

\n

You'll work closely with our Head of Development to design and build the next

\n

generation of our platform while continuing to enhance and support our existing

\n

software, including our Windows desktop application and web-based financial

\n

modelling platform.

\n

\n

We're currently modernising our software solutions, so your ideas, experience, and

\n

technical expertise will have a real impact. You'll play an important role not only in

\n

development, but also in influencing architecture, technical direction, and engineering

\n

standards.

\n

\n

We're a small team, which means everyone has a voice. Communication is just as

\n

important as technical ability. Writing great code is only part of the role, you'll also need

\n

to collaborate effectively, explain technical decisions clearly, and work closely with

\n

colleagues across the business.

\n

We work in an agile environment, but we're pragmatic rather than process-driven. We

\n

care about delivering value, solving real problems, and continuously improving how we

\n

work.

\n

\n

Responsibilities

\n

• Maintain and enhance our existing software platforms.

\n

• Work closely with the Head of Development to design and build our next-

\n

generation products.

\n

• Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision-making.

\n

• Research, evaluate, and introduce new technologies where appropriate.

\n

• Produce and maintain technical documentation.

\n

• Share knowledge and support other members of the team.

\n

• Continuously look for ways to improve our products, processes, and engineering

\n

practices.

\n

\n

Who You Are

\n

We're looking for someone who is not only technically strong but also enjoys working

\n

with people.

\n

\n

You are:

\n

• A clear and open communicator who enjoys collaborating and keeping others

\n

informed.

\n

• Empathetic and customer-focused, always considering how your work improves

\n

the experience for the people using our products.

\n

• Thoughtful and considerate of your teammates, leaving code and systems in a

\n

better state than you found them.

\n

• Someone who naturally supports others and is happy to share knowledge.

\n

• Comfortable making mistakes and viewing them as opportunities to learn and

\n

improve.

\n

• Curious and willing to challenge existing approaches respectfully when you

\n

believe there's a better solution.

\n

• Detail-oriented, understanding that the small things often make the biggest

\n

difference.

\n

• Passionate about learning and continuously developing your skills.

\n

• You recognise that AI has fundamentally changed the software development

\n

landscape, and you embrace the opportunity to use AI responsibly to help us

\n

build better software, faster, without compromising quality or maintainability.

How We Work

\n

We're a small, experienced engineering team where everyone has the opportunity to

\n

make a meaningful contribution.

\n

\n

We value collaboration over ego, practical solutions over unnecessary complexity, and

\n

continuous improvement over perfection. We encourage questions, welcome new

\n

ideas, and believe the best solutions come from open discussion rather than hierarchy.

\n

If you're someone who enjoys taking ownership, working closely with others, and

\n

building software that genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
