Software Engineer - Central London

As a scale up, the engineering organisation will grow considerably by end FY24/25. To start, we adapted an existing platform to address a new market opportunity and prove our commercial thesis. With this achieved, we secured funding to support our expansion and have embarked on an ambitious scaling of our product engineering team that will rapidly evolve our platform using the latest cloud-native and full-stack technologies to achieve a leadership position in our selected markets.

We seek ambitious product engineers (not just software developers) with experience in cloud-native approaches that can shape our platform strategy and accelerate our product development plans.

As a Full Stack Product Engineer for our client, you will play a pivotal role in developing new product solutions and features within our modern product squad. You will utilise your skills in React, TypeScript, C#, and .Net to deliver comprehensive and innovative solutions. You will create new products and features that drive our platform forward and contribute to the ongoing complex modernisation and migration from our .Net Framework platform to a microservices architecture based on .Net Core. You will work closely with the product owner, lead engineers, stakeholders, and customers to refine requirements and deliver high-quality solutions. Your contributions will enhance our cloud-based treasury management system, fostering rapid innovation and improving both user experience and platform capabilities.

As an experienced or regular engineer, you are expected to work independently, delivering high-quality solutions to our stakeholders. Within a squad environment, you will translate complex requirements into engineered solutions. Joining a team of ambitious product experts, your contribution will be pivotal in establishing a world-class engineering organization and cementing our leadership in the marketplace.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Platform Development: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and enhance our treasury management platform, implementing both back-end services and front-end applications using React, TypeScript, C#, and .Net.
• New Product Development: Focus on designing and implementing new product solutions and features, ensuring they meet high standards of quality, scalability, and performance.
• Microservices Migration: Assist in migrating from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture, leveraging .Net Core and industry best practices to ensure scalability and maintainability.
• Innovation and Best Practices: Stay up to date with industry trends and technologies, applying best practices to continuously improve our platform’s performance and security.
• Autonomous Work: Operate independently within a squad environment, translating complex requirements into engineered solutions and adhering to SOLID principles and other coding standards.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the product owner, lead engineers, stakeholders, and customers to gather requirements and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Code and Design Reviews: Undertake code and design reviews, contributing to ongoing improvements in security and authentication practices.
• Development and Testing: Develop, unit test, and integrate new features according to specific designs and user stories.
• Documentation: Create high-quality documentation supported by example code as required, particularly around authentication flows and security protocols.
• Continuous Learning: Continuously learn and implement relevant best practices in collaboration with the wider team.
• Mentoring: Provide feedback and guidance to more junior engineers to help them grow and achieve their goals.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency with .Net Core, +3 years (.Net Framework experience ideal).
• Extensive front-end experience with React and ideally TypeScript.
• Professional experience in a distributed microservice architecture using asynchronous event-driven communications, DDD, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Fluent with Agile methods and collaborative working practices.
• Good understanding of SOLID principles, service-oriented architecture, and a particular appreciation for security best practices in software development.
