The role involves all aspects of the development lifecycle from design, implementation, and deployment. You need to be flexible and innovative and be able to handle large scale engineering challenges.

Role Responsibilities

• As a Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for enhancing and rebuilding the core onboarding platform, using your extensive experience of designing and engineering modern software applications following a microservices architecture.
• Champion code quality and thoughtful software design; it's essential to have a deep commitment to the quality of the code and software produced by you and the team.
• You will work with all stakeholders to analyse requirements to guide software architecture.

• Our architecture is - where appropriate - event-driven with Kafka.
• We perform integration testing with Cypress and Playwright.
• We monitor our systems using AppInsights, Grafana, and Zenduty.
