🚀 Back-End Developer (C#) – Mid Level

Location: Manchester - Hybrid

Salary: Up to £55k base based on experience + other benefits

Contract: Full time ¦ Permanent

👋 Who We Are

At Codeweavers (Part of Cox Automotive Europe), we’re powering the future of automotive commerce. Our SaaS platform connects car buyers, retailers, lenders, and manufacturers through thousands of digital solutions used across the UK and increasingly, around the world.

We’re a team of curious problem-solvers and lifelong learners who believe that engineering

excellence comes from craft, not complexity. Whether it’s refining finance calculations, integrating with external platforms, or streamlining onboarding workflows, our developers are at the heart of making car buying easier for everyone.

💼 About the Role

We’re looking for experienced back-end developers who love working with C# to join our growing engineering team. You’ll play a hands-on role in designing and delivering reliable, well-engineered services, while contributing to a strong and supportive developer culture.

This isn’t a job where you’ll just be handed a spec. You’ll collaborate with product owners, internal users, and other engineers to deeply understand the business problems and shape the right solutions.

We’re currently growing across several key product areas:

• Finance Calculations & Lender Integrations – Building robust finance calculation engines and secure, compliant integrations with major UK lenders
• Retailer E-Commerce Tools – Delivering fast, reliable tools for retailers to manage online vehicle sales, including quoting and checkout experiences
• Client Onboarding & Automation – Creating back-office systems that simplify onboarding and reduce operational workload across the platform

If you’ve worked in fintech, financial modelling, or any domain where business logic, data flow, and

performance are key, you’ll feel right at home.

🛠️ What You’ll Be Doing

• Collaborating with product owners and internal users to understand real business needs
• Writing clean, performant, and maintainable C# code
• Designing thoughtful APIs and distributed services
• Working on cloud-first, event-driven systems using AWS, RabbitMQ, and SNS/SQS
• Making smart, incremental changes, deployed often and safely using CI/CD pipelines
• Helping define and evolve our engineering standards and architectural direction

🧠 Skills & Experience

We’d love you to have some of the following:

• Strong experience writing production-grade C# code
• An understanding of event-based architectures and message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, AWS SQS/SNS)
• Database experience (Postgres, Cassandra, or similar)
• Experience designing and building APIs consumed by external clients or internal teams
• A pragmatic mindset, balancing technical elegance with delivery goals
• An interest in test automation, CI/CD, and continuous delivery practices
• Some exposure to working in fintech, automotive, or other complex domains

🤝 How We Work

• Small, multi-disciplinary squads aligned to product areas
• A culture of rapid feedback, continuous deployment, and shared learning
• Dedicated “Kaizen” time every week to focus on self-improvement
• Collaborative code reviews and regular architecture discussions
• A culture where healthy challenge is welcomed, and assumptions get tested

💡 Why Join Codeweavers?

• Hybrid working: mostly remote with occasional in-office visits
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off + wellness day
• Extra holiday for each year of service
• Access to learning resources (Pluralsight, books, conferences)
• Dedicated weekly learning time
• Regular social events including our legendary sports day and Christmas party
• Transparent, respectful culture where engineers shape the direction of their work

🎯 Who We’re Looking For

We’re after thoughtful engineers who:

• Want to make meaningful contributions, not just write code
• Ask questions, seek feedback, and care about the ‘why’ behind the work
• Enjoy digging into complex problems and making them simpler
• Are comfortable working collaboratively in a transparent, respectful environment
