What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way
  • You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it

What you will bring to the role:

  • Robust coding practices including writing clean well structured code, automated tests, and managing source control
  • Strive to improve the code base. Deep understanding of why design and architectural decisions are made
  • Ensuring product features are being delivered effectively as measured by lead time, deployment frequency, change failure percentage, mean time to resolution and number of bugs in production
  • Experience implementing and using event-driven architectures

  • Containerisation (Docker and/or Kubernetes would be great)
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of OO and Functional programming paradigms
  • A collaborative approach to software engineering
