The Role
At TLA, our Software Developers are responsible for developing both internal and external facing systems, utilising the latest technologies. Our back-end technologies centre around C# and .NET and Microsoft SQL, however we have a broad range of technologies and systems so plenty to get your teeth into! We also follow a modern approach to CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). We have also adopted a TDD style approach to ensure our quality and architecture is the best it can be. Recently we have created a Blazor internal interface to power TLA and we plan to build upon this.
