About you

You will be an established Senior Engineer with a diverse Backend focused skill set. We would ideally like to see a strong focus with Golang as your primary language but if you have a polyglot approach to engineering across a range of backend languages and some exposure to Go, then you could be a great fit for us. You will be able to create, enhance and perfect systems and functions within a microservices architecture, complex systems built platform and help us deliver a new range of solutions and features stretching out across 2025 and beyond. We prioritise aptitude not knowledge, although we would like to see experience of solving large and complex problems in an application development domain. We look for people that can add value to our teams in a multitude of ways and we champion the idea of collaboration, so we look for individuals who can work in smaller, focused teams but can tackle any challenge presented to them. We are looking for people with a focus on delivering solutions to our customers, a genuine passion for problem solving, coding, and who enjoy being challenged. An interest in Data Science would be an advantage but is not essential. Experience with working in agile teams and CI/CD environments is beneficial.
