Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of a cross-functional service-oriented team, working on extending and maintaining our Affiliate Marketing platform. Your responsibilities include writing clean, secure, and well-tested code, following best-practice guidelines, and collaborating with the team to operate and enhance assigned parts of the platform.

You will have a significant impact in terms of efficiency, problem-solving, and mentoring colleagues. Additionally, you will work closely with the product owner and team members to translate user needs into technical solutions. Throughout the lifecycle of a service or product, from requirements to deployment, support, and maintenance, you will take a leading role, considering deadlines, balancing effort and outcome, and proactively addressing risks.

Your contribution will be vital in overcoming challenges and ensuring that our service continues to meet the needs of our business and customers.

The Team

You will be joining our Rewards tribe, a cross functional team at the core of the business. We enable advertisers to define how they reward publishers and manage commissions and transactions using an event‑driven architecture. We use an exciting array of technologies, including Java/Spring, AWS Lambda, Kafka, NodeJS, SQL/NoSQL databases, and more.

Key tasks and responsibilities

• Work within a small, collaborative team using agile methodologies and practices
• Take ownership of backend services, from design and implementation to operation and improvement
• Proactively advocate for technical improvements and help define engineering priorities
• Improve existing applications and design and build new solutions from scratch
• Contribute to code reviews, planning sessions, retrospectives, and other team ceremonies
• Help shape development technologies, standards, and engineering practices
• Follow best‑practice guidelines and contribute to their continuous improvement
• Work closely with Product Managers to translate user stories into technical designs, features, and tasks
• Tackle complex business logic and help solve real business problems
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues in a timely manner
• Communicate effectively in both written and verbal form with local and remote team members

Whilst the above outlines the general expectations of the role, we expect this position to evolve over time, offering opportunities to gain deeper knowledge and experience within the online and affiliate marketing domain.

Skills & Expertise

Required

• At least 6 years of hands‑on Java experience in commercial software engineering roles
• A positive, collaborative work ethic and strong sense of ownership
• Passion for writing elegant, maintainable code, with a solid understanding of SOLID principles
• Experience conducting thorough code reviews, writing unit tests, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Strong experience with Git or similar version control systems
• Experience with event‑driven architectures and messaging/streaming technologies
• Solid understanding of relational database concepts, database design principles, and strong SQL skills
• Experience with non‑relational databases such as DynamoDB or MongoDB
• Expertise in designing and implementing RESTful APIs within a microservices architecture
• Experience working in cross‑functional teams alongside Product Owners, UX Designers, and Agile Coaches
• Familiarity with agile processes, particularly Scrum
• Knowledge of TDD or BDD practices
• Experience with cloud platforms, ideally AWS, and Infrastructure as Code
• Interest in and practical use of AI tools to augment software development practices
• Willingness and ability to work with more than one programming language
