- Improve engineering quality through modern CI/CD, automated testing, automation and secure development practices.
- Collaborate with engineers, architects, product and platform teams to solve complex delivery and integration challenges.
- Mentor other engineers, share knowledge, and help drive continuous improvement across the team.
- Use GenAI tools responsibly to support software design, delivery, problem solving and developer productivity, while maintaining strong engineering judgement, quality and security standards.
What We're Looking For
Essential skills and experience:
- Strong experience in a Senior Software Engineer role, ideally delivering modern web applications.
- Hands-on expertise in React and TypeScript, including component design, state management and performance optimisation.
- Experience with NodeJs or NestJS or similar.
- Experience with end-to-end delivery across the software development lifecycle.
- Good knowledge of CI/CD, automated testing and modern software delivery practices.
- Understanding of secure engineering principles, web security best practices and resilient application design.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience mentoring and supporting other engineers.
