Our company is built on good practice and high standards. Passion for our customers and a willingness to put their needs first is at the centre of everything we do. We have a long history of going the extra mile to make sure our customers are happy. We’re looking for someone to join our team, ensuring that our systems scale effectively with our growth, and considering not only where we want to be but how we will get there.

Our product is written mainly in Java (Spring, Hibernate) and ReactJS with our Design System, Electric. Our architecture is a combination of microservices, decoupled AWS service architectures, and a well-maintained monolith. The product is deployed on AWS across multiple regions.

• Designing holistically, delivering iteratively. Work with the team to break down system-wide architecture recommendations into small, intelligently planned increments for delivery. 
   
• Advocate for technology needs. Translate technology risk into opportunity during product and technology roadmap discussions.

• Putting Customers First. A regular rotation on support for the systems we develop.

• Some knowledge of optimising databases and SQL queries for high-performance 
   
• Experience and keen understanding of the value of working in agile teams
   
• A “quality-first” mindset, with experience working in continuous integration environments and supporting the systems you contribute to
   
• Highly effective at communicating, and comfortable whiteboarding design ideas with teams of engineers, product managers, and business analysts
