About The Position

You will focus on solving engineering problems at scale, moving beyond feature delivery to influence the architecture and implementation of distributed systems. By refactoring complex, monolithic systems and building high-quality, scalable software, your work ensures our platform remains robust and reliable for millions of global users. As a senior member of the team, you will have the autonomy to make major code design decisions and contribute to global engineering standards. You will balance technical excellence with mentorship, acting as a role model and coaching others through complex technical challenges to help them grow. You will join a collaborative environment where engineers, product owners, and designers work together using agile and delivery practices to ship meaningful code. The team prioritises continuous learning and mastery, frequently participating in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions to maintain a high bar for technical craft. The team is currently working on modernising systems by refactoring monolithic components into distributed, scalable architectures, enhancing the developer experience through the maturation of CI/CD concepts, tooling, and TDD practices, building and maintaining a diverse tech stack that includes C#, .Net, React, AWS, and Kubernetes, and developing and implementing technical solution designs that align with long-term engineering frameworks.
