What you will bring to the role:

  • Robust coding practices including writing clean well structured code, automated tests, and managing source control.
  • A sense of ownership of our code base and systems. 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 distributed event-driven architectures.
  • Cloud development (we are hosted on AWS).
  • Containerisation (Docker and/or Kubernetes would be great).
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of OO and Functional programming paradigms.
  • Ability to develop technical solutions and to communicate them effectively.
