As a Senior Software Developer, you will play a key role in developing and maintaining the backend infrastructure that powers Renewal, our React Native mobile application. Your focus will be hands-on, delivering technical solutions using Azure Functions while ensuring reliability, scalability, and best practices across our cloud-based platform.
Reporting to the Head of Engineering (App), you will design and implement new features and services, as well as maintaining and improving our existing Azure-based infrastructure. You will ensure all changes are well-architected, thoroughly tested, and aligned with our technical standards.
Working closely with the mobile app development team, ML/analytics engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders, you will ensure seamless integration between the mobile application and backend services. Your work will directly impact the experience of thousands of users who rely on our platform.
Your opinion matters within your role - your peers will look to you as a technical expert within the team. You will make important architectural decisions that align with our infrastructure, and be able to explain these decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical team members.
