Come and make a difference at Karbon as a Software Developer
We are looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced individual for the role of Software Developer in the Software Development Team. At Karbon Homes, our passionate software team help shape digital solutions that directly improve lives - supporting Karbon Homes' mission to provide safe, affordable housing and stronger communities.
About the role
At Karbon Homes, we're seeking an enthusiastic Software Developer who cares as much about people as they do about code. You'll build and maintain customer-focused solutions in TypeScript and SQL (MySQL, MS SQL Server or Progress OpenEdge), spotting opportunities to improve our systems and sharing your expertise to uplift the whole ICT & DT team. If you thrive in a collaborative, values-driven environment-where every line of code delivers better services and brighter futures for our customers-this is your chance to make a real, human impact
About you
You're a proactive, people-centred software engineer who turns real customer needs into robust, secure services. You bring solid experience in at least one of JavaScript, TypeScript, Java or C#, plus relational databases (MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server or Progress OpenEdge), and a proven track record of translating requirements into maintainable code. Comfortable planning and executing unit, integration and UAT tests, debugging complex issues and integrating systems via APIs and microservices, you embed agile best practices, collaborate seamlessly with suppliers and stakeholders. Above all, you share Karbon's commitment to inclusion, innovation and continuous improvement-and you're driven by using technology to make a positive difference in people's lives.
