About the Role
We work together. Your team and the people you will work with…
- We work in small, autonomous teams with real ownership of the customer journeys they deliver.
As a Software Engineer in the Telco Experience Team, you’ll help build and integrate APIs that power stakeholder-facing telco journeys, working closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver customer-focused features.
While this role sits within our Telco Experience Team to meet immediate hiring needs, we’re also growing our engineering function more broadly and are keen to hear from engineers interested in building products across multiple domains. We value solid engineering fundamentals and transferable skills, and you’ll have opportunities to work beyond telco as our platform and teams continue to scale.
You’ll collaborate with core platform teams responsible for supplier integrations and shared infrastructure, contributing to projects that shape how our telco products are experienced end-to-end. You’ll work primarily with Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, Postgres and MongoDB, gaining hands-on experience with event-driven systems and modern observability practices.

About You
We put people first. It’s all about you…
We’re looking for a backend-focused engineer who enjoys learning, collaboration, and contributing to frontend-heavy initiatives while building reliable services. You’ll thrive here if you’re curious, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving team.
Experience in regulated consumer services or consultancy, and an interest in digitalisation and whole-product thinking, are a plus, but above all, we value a growth mindset and a desire to build great customer experiences together.
Required Skills and Experience
To be successful in this role, you’ll need:
- Strong, hands-on production experience with Go (non-negotiable)
- Proven fluency with Postgres, Kafka, and Kubernetes
- Solid experience building distributed systems, including concurrency and event-driven architectures
- A strong understanding of system resilience, observability, uptime, SLAs, and progressive degradation
- The ability to deliver end-to-end solutions, from design through build, deployment, and ongoing support
- Experience working with CI/CD tooling, Terraform, and modern cloud workflows
- Familiarity with Kafka and database migrations (e.g. CockroachDB to RDS) as a plus
- Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
- The ability to thrive in an agile, iterative environment while delivering continuous feature improvements
- Experience mentoring mid-level engineers and modelling engineering best practices
- Comfort working in autonomous, product-focused teams
