Get ready. Because you’re about to embark on an AI mission to revolutionise small business and accounting practices.

The Sr. Software Engineer is responsible for the design and development of major Sage features. The engineer will provide guidance to other engineers and drive the overall process of development and delivery.

The Sr. Software Engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, and overall quality of the final solution.

Sr. Software engineers will understand the implications of major design decisions, and will be responsible for highlighting important or difficult decisions, ensuring that the tradeoffs are considered.

Where appropriate, a Sr. Software Engineer will propose significant architectural changes at the Architectural Review Board and participate in the evaluation of others’ proposals.

They are expected to work on major features which often involve a deep understanding of the financial and accounting implications of the changes that will result, including the impact on accounting, reports, and usability.

This is a hybrid role - you will work three days per week in our Newcastle office.
