• Review code, mentor other engineers and set the standard for engineering quality and best practice.
• Ensure systems are well‑maintained, observable, reliable, scalable and secure in production.
• Contribute to architectural decisions across services, data, and integrations.
• Balance greenfield development with thoughtful modernisation of legacy platforms.
• Contribute to a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring

• At least 7 years of production software development experience
• A team‑focused attitude and a genuine passion for technology, whether through professional curiosity, continuous learning, or side projects
• Ability to design, reason about, and explain system architecture, including trade‑offs and constraints
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work effectively with ambiguous or evolving requirements
• Demonstrably strong knowledge of:
• Golang
• AWS or another cloud provider
• Containerisation
• Devops principles including CI/CD and infrastructure as code
• SQL and NoSQL databases
• The internet and web protocols (HTTP/DNS/TCP‑IP)

Great If You Have

• Full stack experience
• Competency in other programming languages
• Experience in the intellectual property or brand protection space
