Initially, you will focus on
Developing robust features and backend services using modern programming frameworks and libraries.
Modernising core architecture through pattern-based designs, event-driven systems, and micro-frontend structures.
Building automated tests to verify code quality across risk areas and technical acceptance criteria.
Utilizing automated deployment pipelines, cloud infrastructure tools, and productivity assistants to streamline releases.
Where and how you can work
This role offers options for remote or hybrid working setups depending on your location, with modern team hub locations available to foster connection. You will have access to digital tools and collaborative routines that enable clear communication, structured sprint alignment, and a balanced day-to-day routine.
Here are some of the things we are looking for
Experience across software development stacks, including proficient use of modern programming languages and web technologies.
Strong abilities in debugging across technical stacks and applying resilient design patterns to application architecture.
An interest in expanding technical capabilities, exploring automated tooling, and using software assistants to accelerate daily workflow.
Familiarity with building and maintaining clear documentation for application programming interfaces.
Practice with automated testing methods, continuous integration, and disciplined deployment techniques.
