We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain shared microservices and core platform infrastructure that support multiple product teams. This role involves full lifecycle ownership of services, including architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operational support, ensuring solutions are performant, scalable, and easy for teams to adopt.

We’re looking for someone with strong, hands-on experience across our core tech stack — Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Serverless architectures, Terraform, and Kubernetes. If you also bring skills in Jenkins, React, or Python, that’s a fantastic bonus and will help you make an even bigger impact.

What we’ll get you doing:

• Understanding and refining customer requirements, breaking down work, and providing estimates effectively.
• Contributing to system architecture and design, ensuring security, performance, and reliability are built into everything we deliver.
• Collaborating across engineering, product, and wider business teams to keep communication flowing and deliver great outcomes.
• Building high quality, secure, and maintainable software using best practices — from code reviews and test automation to accelerate product long term health.
• Sharing your expertise by mentoring colleagues, supporting onboarding, researching new technologies, and owning key technical areas such as security or open source compliance.

Here is what success in this role looks like:

• You deliver well-engineered, scalable features that are secure, performant, and meet customer needs.
• You help raise engineering standards across the team through continuous improvement, great communication, and strong technical judgement.
• You take initiative in identifying problems early, proposing solutions, and helping the team unblock challenges.
• You demonstrate leadership by coaching others, driving positive collaboration, and living our values every day.
• You stay curious — continuously developing your skills, keeping up with new technologies, and effectively leading in your specialist areas.

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with AI driven engineering tools and data-centric development practices.
• Background in platform engineering, DevOps experience.
• Exposure to regulated/validated environments such as GxP.
