About IMP

At IMP we help Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) take control of their finances. Our MAT-first software is built by people who know the sector inside out. Former trust professionals, finance experts and product specialists are all part of our team. More than half of all MATs in the UK already use IMP to plan with confidence, simplify complex processes and make smarter decisions.

We’re proud to be independent, founder-led and growing fast. Alongside our award-winning products, we’ve built a culture we’re equally proud of. We are ranked as one of the UK’s Top 25 Great Places to Work for mid-sized companies. Respect, collaboration and personal growth sit at the heart of how we work. You’ll find flexibility, support and opportunities to develop here, alongside regular team socials and funded CPD.

Role Description:

You’ll lead technical delivery within a solution area: working with product to break down customer needs into features, making design decisions, and ensuring what ships is solid. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not people management.

AI & Tools

We use AI coding tools extensively to accelerate development. You'll apply them day-to-day to move faster and write better code, while building the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to push back. We see these tools as amplifiers for skilled engineers, not replacements. You'll develop strong mental models for good code quality, whether it came from a human or an LLM.

Key responsibilities:

· Build and ship features across the stack, working from well-defined technical designs

· Write clean, maintainable code and participate actively in code review

· Contribute to technical discussions and raise questions or concerns early

· Work with systems through iterative, evolutionary patterns — not big rewrites

· Support production incidents and help feed learnings back into how the team builds

· Use AI coding tools effectively as part of your everyday workflow

You’ll work closely with Product Owners, Engineering Managers, QA Engineers, and senior engineers who will support your growth. The sprint cycle is real here: standups, refinement, planning, review, and retro. We ship regularly.

Skills, experience, and attributes:

Essentials:

• Solid experience with C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, and system design

• Familiarity with architectural patterns like Clean Architecture, DDD, or event-driven design. You don't need to own these decisions, but you need to work confidently within them

• Good instincts for code quality, you can spot when something feels off and articulate why

• Comfortable breaking down a well-scoped problem and getting it shipped

• Clear communicator who can flag blockers and ask good questions

• Clear communication across technical and business conversations

• Comfortable using AI coding tools day-to-day

Valuable

• Product-based SaaS experience

• CI/CD and DevOps practices

• Exposure to Blazor or other modern frontend technologies

Experience level: 3–5 years in software development. You've built solid foundations and have demonstrated meaningful ownership of features. You're looking for an environment where you can grow into broader technical responsibility over time.
