Role Overview
As a Senior Developer, you’ll play a key role in designing and developing high quality software solutions that directly support product and business objectives.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, results oriented and takes genuine ownership of technical challenges, leading research activities, technical spikes and proof of concepts to explore new ideas and identify effective solutions to complex problems.
Quality will be at the heart of everything you do. You’ll lead troubleshooting and issue resolution throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring the solutions you deliver are robust, scalable, maintainable and production-ready. You’ll champion Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) and automated testing practices to maintain high standards of code quality and coverage. Through code reviews, pair programming and collaborative engineering practices, you’ll help establish a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence. Experience developing within CI pipelines and following modern engineering and delivery best practices would be highly desirable.
