Project Description

We are looking for a strong Senior .NET Backend Developer to lead the development of AI capabilities in a SaaS platform that delivers procedures and practice guidance to public sector and social care organisations in the UK. You will work closely with the client’s Head of Product, Engineering Manager and a mixed team of client and Spyrosoft engineers. The role combines hands-on development with technical leadership. You will shape the AI architecture and roadmap, build production-grade RAG and AI search features on Azure (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Semantic Kernel), integrate them with a headless CMS (Squidex), and make sure everything meets the quality, safety and compliance standards of a regulated domain. Knowledge transfer is a key part of the engagement, so the client’s team can own and run everything that is built.
