  • Thought Leaders regularly give tailored talks and workshops for our team.
  • We are proactive in the community attending many local and international conferences.
  • We have both a technical and management track for career progression and promotions.
  • We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

Tech we use:

Our typical tech stack includes AWS, Kubernetes for microservices, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Terraform.

What you will bring to the role:

  • Extensive experience with AWS or other cloud-based architectures.
  • Expertise in Kotlin or similar programming languages.
  • In-depth knowledge of DynamoDB, Kafka, or related databases and streaming services.
  • Proven ability to architect and optimise systems for scalability and performance.
  • Demonstrated leadership in driving the delivery of complex technical projects.
  • Exceptional communication skills and a strategic, collaborative approach.
  • Able to lead the delivery of technical projects.
  • Ability to influence technology direction and decisions at the organisational level.
