• Understand adoption and release barriers to entry for the product and technology.
• Support the Product Manager and team in developing a strategic launch and release plan with cross-functional teams.
• Promote cross-team collaboration focused on taking end-to-end solutions to market and supporting go-live activities.
• Analyse product adoption and identify improvements to the customer journey when addressing new enhancement requests.
• Play an active role in addressing system hygiene, and mitigate future hygiene issues by consistently producing high-quality code.
• Adhere to coding standards and stay current with technology trends and best practices.
• Take part in the code review process to a high standard.
• Define a personalised continuous learning path that supports your career growth.
• Use AI tools to support development activities — code generation, testing, debugging, and optimisation — and apply them to automate repetitive tasks and improve quality.
• Evaluate and integrate AI/ML capabilities where appropriate, and maintain awareness of emerging AI trends and best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum 3 years of professional industry experience, operating consistently at a mid-level engineering standard.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language, plus knowledge of software design principles, development tools, frameworks, and domains in use.
• Experience with web application development.
• Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, and testing.
• Proficient knowledge of code versioning tools such as Git.
• Ability to collaborate with others in a professional and respectful manner.
