3rd Line Support Software Developer

C# / SQL Server

Bristol - Remote Working

An opportunity has arisen to join a leading solutions provider and investigate and resolve support cases quickly and effectively. This will involve identifying the root cause of issues, whether they be data issues or software bugs. The key focus is to improve the customer experience, working with other internal teams to readily resolve client issues.

Key responsibilities will be to:
* Investigate, understand and propose solutions to customer encountered issues
* Identify opportunities to resolve commonly encountered customer queries and issues
* Develop internal tools and utilities that would reduce, simplify or speed up resolution
* Fix assigned bugs effectively, minimising reactivations
* Write software accurately and effectively to meet specifications and quality standards
* Provide accurate estimates for completion of assigned development activities
* Keep abreast of new technologies and develop skills to meet the changing needs of the customer and the business

The successful candidate will have a proven track record in either a 2nd line software support role or working as a software developer, ideally identifying and fixing bugs in code written by others. You should have demonstrable skills in C# and SQL Server along with experience in tools such as Visual Studio and SQL Server Management. Experience in software design and analysis is expected and any understanding of web services, XML, Entity Framework or Windows client / server architecture would be useful. Knowledge of any other associated technologies such as Xamarin Form, ASP.Net, VB.Net and Javascript (Angular / jQuery) would also be advantageous.

Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, are a must and you should have strong problems solving skills and a keen eye for detail. Any experience working in an Agile / Scrum environment would be beneficial and you should show a willingness and ability to learn new skills quickly.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, proactive individual with a company offering lots of chances for career and personal progression. This role can be remote or office based, with offices in Bristol, commutable from Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bath, Chippenham, Swindon, Stroud, Newport and Weston-super-Mare. Salary up to £30,000, commensurate with experience.
