Qualifications

• Proven hands-on software engineering experience in a product-oriented Digital technology environment, ideally with consumer-facing web and/or commerce platforms.
• Strong technical craft across relevant parts of the Digital technology stack, with the ability to design, build, test, and operate production software.
• Comfortable working in an agile, scrum-based delivery model, with experience contributing to ceremonies and shaping stories from refinement through to release.
• Experience operating within a DevOps model, including responsibility for monitoring, alerting, incident response, and reliability engineering.
• Solid grounding in modern engineering practices: CI/CD, automated testing, version control, code review, infrastructure-as-code, and observability.
• Awareness of and adherence to security, data protection, and accessibility considerations in software development.
• Sufficient confidence and technical credibility to scrutinise and challenge third-party partner output where appropriate.
• Collaborative team contributor able to operate within a small, cross-functional squad; comfortable with shared ownership, peer review, and continuous improvement.
• Demonstrated appetite to retain and deepen domain knowledge over time, acting as an enduring contributor within a long-lived squad.
• Experience in Retail, Luxury, eCommerce, or Consumer goods industries is beneficial.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and operate software within the assigned squad, working against user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications produced by Product Analysts.
• Write clean, maintainable, secure, and well-tested code aligned to the engineering standards and best practices defined by the Engineering Manager.
• Participate actively in agile ceremonies (sprint planning, refinement, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives), providing engineering input into estimation, sequencing, and approach.
• Contribute to backlog refinement by assessing technical feasibility, surfacing risks and dependencies early, and helping to shape stories into deliverable increments.
• Take ownership of the operational health of the squad's product under a DevOps model, including monitoring, incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements, working alongside Digital Operations.
• Conduct peer code reviews, providing constructive technical feedback to colleagues and upholding engineering quality across the squad.
• Build and maintain automated tests (inc. A/B tests) to support continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines.
• Collaborate closely with Solution Architects to ensure implementation aligns with approved solution designs, and elevate where design constraints, non-functional requirements, or trade-offs need to be revisited.
• Support and challenge third-party delivery partners (e.g., contingent and outsourced engineers) embedded within the squad, scrutinising approach, estimates, and quality, and holding them to Burberry engineering standards.
• Contribute to the squad's technical roadmap by surfacing technical debt, platform constraints, and innovation opportunities to the Lead Engineer and Senior Engineering & Delivery Lead.
• Develop and retain deep product, platform, and domain knowledge over time, acting as a long-lived contributor to the squad's continuity.
• Support knowledge-sharing across the engineering community within Digital, including communities of practice, internal documentation, and onboarding of new joiners.
• Adhere to security, data protection, accessibility, and technical governance standards in all work delivered.
