· The chance to contribute to platform-level services used across multiple products
· Opportunities to develop new technical skills and grow your engineering career
Responsibilities
· Design and develop cloud-native SaaS applications and shared platform services
· Build scalable microservices and serverless components using modern development practices
· Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and integrations with internal systems and third-party platforms
· Contribute to the design and evolution of distributed and event-driven architectures
· Work across new product development, enhancements and platform evolution
· Participate in Agile development processes, including sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospectives
· Collaborate with Product Managers to refine requirements, estimate work and deliver features iteratively
· Implement automated testing, CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
· Investigate and resolve production issues, providing third-level technical support where required
· Produce and maintain technical documentation and architectural artefacts
· Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, tooling and platform reliability
