Job description

Help us connect and transform health and care. As a Software Developer at System C, you'll design, build and optimise data-driven software used across our product suite. You'll collaborate with product, QA, DevOps and DBA colleagues to deliver secure, reliable and high-performing solutions - and you'll play a hands-on role in performance tuning at scale.

What you'll do

  • Interpret requirements, design and develop new features; maintain and improve existing modules
  • Write efficient SQL, optimise queries and schemas, and improve data access patterns
  • Work on integration and data flows using Azure SQL and related services
  • Contribute to code reviews, unit tests and CI/CD pipelines; champion good engineering practices
  • Troubleshoot production issues, drive root-cause analysis and help raise quality standards
  • Collaborate in Agile ceremonies; keep stakeholders updated on progress and risks

Requirements

  • Strong SQL and database development skills, including query optimisation and tuning
  • Solid understanding of relational design and data architecture
  • Experience with large production databases (1TB+) and Azure SQL technologies
  • Familiarity with git-based workflows, Agile tools (e.g. Jira/Confluence) and JSON
  • Understanding of CI/CD and automated testing; exposure to C# or PowerShell is a plus
  • Nice to have: SSRS/SSIS, Data Factory, Cosmos DB, DBA basics (backup/restore/replication)

How we work

We value humility, ownership, collaboration and integrity. You'll join an Agile, supportive team that iterates quickly, learns continuously and improves processes as we go - with potential to join an out-of-hours rota once you're ready.
