Senior Software Engineer (back-end)

As a Senior Software Engineer (back-end), you will:

Join a product development team involved in the full delivery lifecycle, from concept and specification through UI design, development, QA, and release.
Work closely with product leads to turn ideas and client requirements into shipped features, with real ownership throughout.
Collaborate with a small team of senior engineers where knowledge sharing is natural, standards are high, and ideas are encouraged.
Follow a structured onboarding plan that combines early codebase contributions, architectural understanding, and exposure to the convertible bond domain.
Contribute to a product company that builds and owns its platform, giving your work lasting impact and visibility from problem definition to delivery and growth.
Build mission-critical applications for a specialised financial market with an established client base, keeping the engineering work purposeful and technically engaging.
Work on both a cloud-based, globally distributed SaaS platform and an on-premises version.
Propose and implement ideas rather than simply execute assigned tickets, with engineering input valued throughout the product lifecycle.
Grow across the stack with support from experienced engineers and exposure to frontend, backend, services, and integrations.
Strengthen your technical expertise while building enough convertible bond knowledge to make better engineering decisions.
Gain experience in a specialised financial domain that few engineers encounter, adding long-term depth and market value to your profile.
