Senior Technical Developer at Ascot Group, Weston-Super-Mare, £Contract Rate

Senior Developer / Technical Consultant (Contract or Part-Time) – Data and CRM

Insight Data is a small, family business providing marketing data and proprietary CRM solutions for the construction and building products industry. Our award-winning platform, Salestracker, powers sales and marketing for hundreds of businesses across the UK, from large manufacturers to ambitious SMEs.

We’re now in the final stages of developing Salestracker 4 - a completely rebuilt, next-generation SaaS platform that combines CRM, data intelligence, and marketing automation in one seamless ecosystem.

Our internal software team has brought the project a long way, and it’s now in testing. But we’re looking for a seasoned senior developer or technical consultant to help us take it over the finish line - ensuring it’s robust, fast, reliable, secure, and a joy to use.

This is a part-time or contract opportunity for someone with deep technical knowledge, strong leadership, and a passion for delivering first-class software. You’ll work directly with our internal dev team to refine, test, and optimise the platform, bringing best-practice insight, hands-on technical expertise, and real-world SaaS experience.
