It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What will you be responsible for?
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be working within the Development team, supporting them in delivering technical solutions and maintaining operational services.

You'll also play an important role in maintaining and improving existing production services, ensuring they remain reliable and efficient.

- Taking ownership of technical workstreams from initial requirement through solution design, development, testing and implementation
- Designing, developing and maintaining backend applications, automation and geospatial data-processing solutions
- Working with stakeholders to understand requirements and recommend appropriate technical solutions
- Designing and evolving database schemas, data models and supporting processes
