Who you are

You will be a key contributing member of our Engineering team, working on a new customer facing product. You'll play a pivotal role in backend service design and development, data modelling and prototype implementation.

This role has a direct business and customer impact, ensuring every customer can seamlessly access a new solution which will change their ways of working. You'll focus on maintaining code quality across the team, and unblock challenges.

• Building and extending a modular monolith, a .NET-based backend with clean internal product boundaries and a multi-tenant data model
• Working with Postgres, DynamoDB, and an internal SNS event bus as the primary data and messaging infrastructure
• Designing and implementing domain services (shift state machines, audit outbox, eligibility pipelines) where correctness and causal ordering matter
• Using AI tooling actively: not as a shortcut, but as a genuine accelerant for code generation, design exploration, and documentation

• AWS or similar cloud technologies.
• AI Fluency, genuine comfort using AI tooling as part of how you work: generating code, stress-testing designs, accelerating research, writing documentation. Engineers who treat it as a core part of their workflow will thrive.
• Ability to collaborate effectively and communicate clearly within a diverse, cross-functional team.

Some nice to haves

• Domain knowledge of HR, Workforce Management, scheduling or payroll will be helpful but not required.
