Recognised by the Great Places to Work Award and the Inclusive Employers Standard, we’re building a modern, inclusive engineering culture—and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape the future of our business-critical applications.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll lead by example: mentoring others, driving technical quality, and delivering scalable, secure, user-centred solutions. You’ll work closely with engineers, product owners, and designers, and play a key role in our agile delivery. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore AI tools responsibly within the development lifecycle.
What You’ll Do
- Contribute across the full SDLC, partnering with Engineering, DevOps, and Product
- Turn business requirements into robust, secure technical solutions
- Design and build scalable, high-performing applications and services
- Write high-quality, maintainable code with strong testing and automation
- Lead investigations into complex technical issues and ensure system stability
- Champion engineering best practices and continuous improvement
- Shape system and API design using modern architectural principles
- Communicate clearly with cross-functional teams
- Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge-sharing
- Contribute to technical discovery (spikes) and document findings
- Support CI/CD, IaC, and cloud environments (GitHub Actions, Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation)
- Monitor and support live services, including incident analysis and preventative fixes
- Ensure solutions meet security, accessibility, performance, and data-protection standards

- Development & Coding Hands-on experience with TypeScript (React, AWS CDK), Git, YAML, Terraform, CloudFormation, Bash/Zsh, and modern tooling (VSCode, GitHub, Vite, Rollup, tsx, npm). Strong logging, monitoring, and branching practices.
- Testing & Quality Proficiency with unit, integration, and E2E testing (Vitest, Jest, Cypress, Playwright). Skilled in mocking, dependency isolation, refactoring, and peer review. Understanding of accessibility, performance, load, and security testing.
