We’re excited about you because…

• You have at least two years of professional software engineering experience building production backend, platform, infrastructure or data-platform systems.


• You write readable, maintainable, and well-tested code in Python or another general-purpose programming language.


• You are comfortable working with SQL and understand data modelling, databases, and data-platform concepts.


• You have experience building APIs, integrations, or automation and can reason about service boundaries, authentication, data contracts, and failure modes.


• You have hands-on experience operating software in production, including CI/CD, observability, debugging, incident response and operational readiness.


• You take end-to-end ownership and can turn ambiguous user or operational problems into secure, scalable, self-service solutions.


• You communicate clearly and work effectively with both technical and non-technical teams.


• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, distributed environment and can organise your work independently.
