• Implement and contribute to CI/CD pipelines to support high‑quality, automated deployments.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers to understand requirements and shape technical solutions.
• Align technical implementation with Enterprise Architecture standards, clarifying design intent with architects where required.
• Contribute to code reviews, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem solving across the team.

Qualifications

• Proficient in modern programming languages (e.g. Python, Go, TypeScript).
• Understanding of cloud‑based development and common integration patterns (REST APIs, event queues, data flows).
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD tooling and source control.
• Clear, logical communicator with a collaborative mindset.
• Disciplined approach to documentation and system maintainability.
• Experience with containerisation (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) or microservices.
• Exposure to Agile or hybrid project delivery.
• Interest in automation, observability or cloud‑native design patterns.

Benefits: 26 days annual leave plus an additional day off for your birthday, private healthcare and dental cover, an annual discretionary bonus, plus a range of partnership and lifestyle discounts.
