In addition, you'll take an active role in unlocking the potential of junior colleagues: encouraging idiomatic code, demonstrating engineering rigour, and sharing hard-won knowledge with your peers.Youll also help drive our engineering processes to maintain code quality while balancing realistic delivery timescales and client requirements.
