Your role in ‘better’

• As part of an Agile Software Delivery squad you’ll contribute to your team’s ways of working and fully embracing a teamwork mentality through practices such as pair programming and a no blame culture.

• You will be entrusted by the Lead Software Engineer in the team to take day-to-day ownership of the technical implementation, acting as a mentor and role model to all members of the team to instil best practices.

• You will be a key driver and contributor within the team, turning concepts, designs and requirements into highly available web applications and systems, using industry standard languages and technologies.

• You will play a crucial part in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from formulating an initial approach to your work, to incrementally: implementing, reviewing, testing, releasing, and maintaining it in our production environment.

How you’ll create ‘better’

• Your passion for technology is crucial; We're looking for someone who is determined to make things as good as they can be using the most appropriate tools, someone with an attention to detail and a willingness to suggest and implement further improvements.

• You will be operationally aware and customer-obsessed, taking responsibility for security, code quality, scalability, performance, accessibility and more. You will get to know our systems, customers, and domain, which will help you understand requirements and ensure our products meet the needs of our customers.

• You will promote the importance of non-functionals such as real-time monitoring, good alert design and great logging strategies to improve the visibility of our systems, helping us work towards a better platform.

• You will be eager to continuously learn, grow and improve as an engineer. As a keen collaborator you'll actively seek to share knowledge and build strong relationships within your team and beyond to aid the development and progression of your fellow engineers.
