Lead .NET/Full Stack Developer - Hybrid - £700/day Outside IR35 | C# | Azure | Event Driven Systems | Payments | API Driven

We have a unique opportunity for a Lead .NET/Full Stack Developer to join a payments company.

As the Lead .NET/Full Stack Developer, you’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling a high-throughput payments platform as the business enters its next phase of growth. This includes launching new products, enabling new partner integrations, and expanding a platform that already powers multiple live financial services products used globally.

You’ll be building on top of a modern, cloud-native platform built with .NET and Azure, designed around API-first architecture and event-driven microservices. The platform supports complex payment flows, partner integrations, and high-volume transaction processing.

This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll help drive engineering best practices, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor developers while remaining close to the code.

Working closely with Product, Data, Risk, and Platform teams, you’ll help evolve the platform architecture and ensure the delivery of secure, scalable, and resilient distributed systems within a regulated fintech environment.
