- Review code and establish strong engineering standards
- Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance without formal line-management responsibility
- Collaborate with Product Owners to evaluate requirements, trade-offs and delivery approaches
- Build and operate cloud-native services, primarily on AWS
- Deploy and run containerised applications using Kubernetes and Docker
- Work with DevOps engineers on CI/CD, deployment, scalability and reliability
- Use data, analytics and operational insights to support technical decisions
- Contribute to testing, documentation and continuous improvement throughout the SDLC
- Support the adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools and solutions where appropriate
Requirements:
- At least 5 years of professional backend engineering experience

- Experience influencing architecture or leading technical decisions
- Ability to review code and mentor other engineers
- Strong understanding of testing, maintainability and production code quality
- Comfortable working across several services and technical priorities simultaneously
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and product stakeholders
- Professional working proficiency in English (C1+)
Nice to have:
- Experience with Azure alongside AWS
- Experience building or integrating AI-enabled products
- Knowledge of analytics, data-processing or event-driven systems
- Experience working in an international, distributed engineering environment
- Previous experience supporting several engineering teams or product areas
What's on Offer:
