Internal IT Developer

Lead the Future of Our Internal Systems

​Build. Innovate. Shape.

​

We're looking for a talented and forward-thinking Internal IT Developer to join our IT team in a newly created role focused on developing internal web applications and tools that support every department across the business. This is a chance to lead exciting new projects from the ground up, starting with a custom CMS and a Sales Order Processing app for our Digital team.

You'll be instrumental in shaping how we build and deliver internal solutions, working closely with senior stakeholders and the IT team to create tools that drive efficiency, automation, and growth.

​

​Why This Role Matters

​At Spectrum, we've spent over 15 years helping businesses automate and streamline their operations. Now, we're turning that expertise inward to transform how we work. This role is central to that journey — helping us build scalable, user-friendly internal systems that empower our teams and improve how we operate.

​

​What You'll Be Doing​

• Lead development of new internal web apps, starting with a CMS and SOP tool.
• Collaborate with senior management and stakeholders to shape project requirements and delivery plans.
• Take ownership of internal development projects, from concept to deployment.
• Work closely with the IT team and occasionally with our Automation team to align internal tools with broader digital strategies.
• Explore and implement new technologies, frameworks, and low-code platforms to accelerate delivery.
• Help define internal development standards and best practices.
• Contribute to the evolution of our internal systems and help scale the internal dev function as the company grows.

​What Success Looks Like

​Delivering intuitive, scalable internal tools that improve productivity and user experience.

• Leading projects with confidence and clarity, taking full ownership of outcomes.
• Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders and becoming a trusted technical advisor.

• Driving innovation and continuous improvement in how we build and support internal systems.

• ​Skills & Experience

​We're looking for someone with a solid foundation in full-stack development, ideally with:

​

• 3+ years of experience (or equivalent academic/project experience for graduates) across a range of technologies, including:

*

• C# (.NET Framework / .NET Core) – for building robust server-side logic and APIs
• JavaScript / TypeScript – for dynamic client-side functionality
• HTML / CSS – for creating clean, responsive user interfaces
• React and/or Angular 2+ – for modern front-end development
• Experience with SQL Server, including writing and optimizing SQL queries
• Familiarity with REST APIs and integrating systems and services
• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP), SOLID principles, and test-driven development (TDD)
• Experience with Git and modern development workflows (e.g., branching strategies, pull requests, CI/CD)
• Exposure to low-code platforms or a willingness to explore them as part of our internal tooling strategy
• Ability to work across the stack — from designing database schemas to building intuitive UIs and everything in between
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset

​

Graduates Welcome – If you're a recent graduate with strong foundational skills and a passion for building internal tools, we'd love to hear from you. We value potential, curiosity, and a willingness to learn just as much as experience.

​The Right Fit

​You're an innovator — someone who can take a suggestion or idea and turn it into a clear, actionable plan. You take pride in your work, enjoy solving problems, and are always looking to grow your skills. You're comfortable leading projects and collaborating with stakeholders, and you thrive in environments where you can shape the direction of your work.
