Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Senior Back-End Developer to join an innovative and collaborative environment. In this role we’re building a next generation data and integration platform using Python, TypeScript and GoLang that sits at the heart of business decision making, delivering real time analytics, forecasting, historical insights and intelligent activation capabilities. As a senior developer we’re continuing to expand our technology estate, so someone who is passionate about designing scalable, resilient systems and solving complex technical challenges that have a genuine business impact.
This is more than a backend engineering role. You'll take ownership of critical integration services, shape the architecture of our Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem, and develop high-performance APIs that connect multiple platforms and data sources. Working alongside talented engineers, architects and product teams, you'll have the opportunity to influence technical direction while building reliable, secure and highly available services used across the organisation.
If you enjoy working with modern technologies, value engineering excellence, and thrive in an environment where innovation is encouraged, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution. We're looking for someone who combines deep technical expertise with a collaborative mindset and a passion for continuous improvement, automation and delivering high-quality engineering outcomes. While not essential, it would be advantageous if you also have experience in AI engineering and/or modern DevOps practices, enabling you to contribute to the ongoing evolution of our platform and support future innovation initiatives.
