The Software Engineer contributes to the design, development, and maintenance of our applications. This role works across the full development lifecycle (requirements to operation) and entire technology stack (front-end user interface to the back-end data access patterns). The role collaborates closely with product managers, designers, and other developers to translate functional and non-functional requirements into secure, reliable and user-centric designs and solutions.

This role is agile team based and requires a strong communicator, a problem solver and someone passionate about working in a dynamic, agile environment while at the same time being quality minded and always advocating for continuous improvement.

• Design and implement software features using appropriate programming languages, frameworks, APIs, databases, and web technologies.
• Apply secure coding practices and take ownership of resolving security-related issues within assigned work.
• Lead story level work break-down to deliver items collaboratively and independently, structuring tasks with clear requirements and alignment to existing system designs.
• Write automated tests for every change and improve existing code by identifying and proposing quality improvements and technical debt reduction.
• Diagnose and resolve complex operational issues and improving long-term system reliability and efficiency.
• Participate in design reviews, providing analysis, feedback, and recommendations within their domain.
• Design and implement cloud-based infrastructure-as-code, with working knowledge of cloud compute, storage, database, networking, and identity concepts.
• Support the assessment and adoption of new technologies where relevant to the current domain.

Required Experience / Essential Skills

• 5+ years of experience in software engineer roles after formal academic studies
• Good proficiency as a full-stack web developer in Typescript, React, Node.js, HTML, CSS and front-end build tools and bundlers (npm, Vite, Webpack).
• Good proficiency with AWS cloud native services is desirable, though not mandatory: (API Gateway, AppSync, Lambda, S3, SNS+SQS, DynamoDB, Aurora etc) for building cloud native solutions and provisioning the required back-end app infrastructure using infrastructure as code (Cloudformation, CDK, serverless frameworks such as Serverless and SAM).
• Building unit and integration tests for business logic. Planning acceptance test criteria for requirements
• Solid understanding of database management and design, with development experience in both SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g. DynamoDB, Aurora/PostgreSQL).
• Experience in RESTful and GraphQL API design
• Extensive experience with Git version control including branching and conflict resolution.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle multiple priorities.

Desirable Skills

• Previous experience in other back-end technologies such as Python, Ruby, Java, .NET with experience in micro-service architectures.
• Knowledge of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes and tools.
• Containerization tools like Docker

Key Competencies

• Programming Basics & Foundation Knowledge: Apply structured thinking and learning agility to build software using established languages, patterns, tooling, and version control.
• Programming Quality: Demonstrate accountability for maintainable, well-tested code. Exercise judgement to balance delivery, test coverage, and technical debt.
• Programming Security: Show security awareness and ownership by identifying, prioritising, and resolving security concerns within design and implementation.
• Programming Complexity: Use analytical problem-solving to independently break down and deliver work within existing system designs, seeking support appropriately.
• Programming Performance: Apply systems thinking and analysis to diagnose and resolve performance issues, considering runtime behaviour and production impacts.
• Programming Technical Stewardship: Demonstrate ownership of shared codebases through thoughtful change, participation in design reviews, and consideration of long-term system health.
• Cloud Operating Environment: Apply practical problem-solving and disciplined execution when designing and delivering cloud-based solutions using infrastructure-as-code.
• Solutions Domain: Communicate technical ideas clearly and applies business awareness when designing and reviewing story-level solutions.
• Problem Solving & Critical Thinking: Use evidence-based reasoning and methodical planning to analyse problems and determine appropriate technical solutions.
• Technical Innovation: Demonstrate openness to learning and discernment when evaluating emerging technologies for relevance to the current domain.
• Architecture Standards & Frameworks: Apply conceptual understanding of architectural patterns and standards, communicating designs using shared models and tools.
• Platform Strategy: Demonstrate system-level awareness by contributing constructively to platform decisions through evaluation and proof-of-concept activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Relevant professional certifications are desirable, such as those related to AWS cloud environment and in particular cloud-native serverless (eg AWS Developer and Solution Architect certifications)
• Postgraduate qualifications (e.g. Masters degree) are advantageous, particularly where they support the design and development of software solutions.
