At Sentric, we're on a mission to give artists the fairest deal in the music industry. We're looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our product engineering team, working out of our head office in the centre of Liverpool.

We wholeheartedly embrace our core values of Honesty, Originality, Progression, and Kindness as guiding principles in our professional journey, and we're seeking people who share them.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and performant user-facing and/or back-end systems
• Contribute to technical strategy and architectural decisions, always with a focus on tangible business outcomes
• Build secure APIs and integrate with third-party services and platforms
• Work within our approved AI tooling and practices, including agentic workflows (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code), applying good judgement on where AI assistance speeds up delivery and where it doesn’t
• Maintain clear ownership and accountability over AI-assisted contributions, including attribution and review practices for agent-generated code
• Champion quality, observability, and resilience across everything you ship
• Collaborate closely with your squad and wider stakeholders, taking full ownership of your deliverables
• Share your knowledge, mentoring colleagues and helping shape our evolving engineering practices, including how we use AI responsibly

• 1 day off for your birthday
• 1 day off to move house each year
• Hybrid working policy
• Salary sacrifice pension with matched employer contributions up to 10%
• Life Assurance and Group Income Protection Plan
• Optional Private Medical Insurance (BIK)
