  • Support the development of cloud-native solutions with an awareness of scalability, resilience, and reliability (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • Assist in debugging, troubleshooting, and resolving software defects and performance bottlenecks through optimisation techniques.
  • Utilise containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous feedback processes.
  • Apply best practices in quality engineering to ensure assigned code components are backed by appropriate test coverage.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools and workflows to support your day-to-day coding, learning, and delivery speed.
  • Openly explore and adopt modern engineering tools introduced by the team to improve productivity.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
  • Actively learn from senior team members, embracing mentorship and striving for continuous technical growth.

Your skills, experience and beyond:

  • At least two years of commercial software development experience.

  • Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and workflows.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication and collaboration skills.
  • Curiosity, adaptability and a genuine desire to learn.

If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, coachability and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.
