The ideal candidate will have expert knowledge of software development processes, being able to take delivery ownership of a defined piece of work and own it from design through to production and ongoing operation.

• Contribute to architecture discussions and help solve complex technical challenges across platforms, integrations and cloud environments.
• Support the ongoing optimisation, monitoring and performance of software products from development through to deployment.

A bit about you:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience in one or more modern programming languages and cloud platforms.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure, software systems, automation or platform engineering practices.
• Curiosity, adaptability and a desire to work across software engineering, cloud services, data and emerging AI technologies.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical decisions and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
