• Mentor Associate Engineers and junior team members, helping improve their technical capability and delivery effectiveness.
• Contribute to discussions around architecture, implementation approaches and engineering best practices.
• Support incident resolution activities and help drive improvements that enhance system reliability and maintainability.
• Champion continuous improvement and support the adoption of AI-assisted engineering approaches across the squad.

Skills and Experience

• Commercial software engineering experience with evidence of independently delivering production-ready solutions.
• Strong technical proficiency within one or more modern development stacks and associated tooling.
• Experience working within agile software delivery environments and collaborative engineering teams.
• Good understanding of software testing, quality assurance and engineering best practices.
• Ability to own features from requirement through to deployment with minimal supervision.
• Experience mentoring junior developers or supporting technical development within teams.
• Interest and experience in AI-assisted development tools and modern software engineering approaches.
• Strong communication, problem-solving and collaboration skills.
• Java backend development experience
• Growing / basic Vue.js front-end experience
