Job Description

This position is best suited to a senior engineer who enjoys taking ownership of technical solutions and helping other engineers grow.

What sets this position apart is:

• It's about refining how we build, rather than just building.


• It's a chance for you to make a difference, industrializing software development, ensuring that as we grow, our methods are not just keeping pace but setting the pace.

• Establishing a structured data model, surrounding automation and reporting (e.g. PowerBI) for artifacts and dependencies (build pipelines, source code repositories, third party artifacts etc.) ensures compliance, audit readiness, and effective risk management by enabling full traceability of software origin and build processes.


• Work with Platform Engineering, Security, Integration Pipeline and Release Management teams to define and implement the Software Development Life Cycle.


• Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to less experienced engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and day-to-day collaboration.

What we offer:

• Modern Offices


• Ownership – you'll influence technical decisions, not just implement them.


• Meaningful problems – work on challenges that require engineering judgement, not repetitive ticket processing.


• Growth – opportunities to expand your skills, responsibilities, and impact.


• Trust and flexibility – we care about outcomes more than presenteeism.


• A voice that matters – good ideas are evaluated on merit, regardless of job title.

• 6+ years in relevant software development.


• Experience in the following areas Java, SQL, Shellscripting.
