You’re a hands‑on engineer who likes solving real problems at scale. You’ll design and build new features in a flagship SaaS product, modernise legacy systems, and shape the future architecture using microservices, REST APIs, SQL, and cloud‑native patterns on AWS. You enjoy breaking things down, running experiments, building POCs, and collaborating closely with product managers to ship clean, well‑tested solutions. You take ownership of your work, mentor others, and constantly look for smarter, more elegant ways to build software.

  • Participate in the largescale design of the future state of the product, run experiments and create POCs for validation and refinement 
  • Collaborate with product managers and other teams to specify technical requirements, deliverables, and optimized solutions 
  • Assist and mentor team members 

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 

  • 5+ years of experience in a hands-on development role at a commercial software company 
  • Strong experience with SQL / RDBMS 
  • Experience with microservices, REST APIs 
  • Experience with cloud tools, cloud native development, preferably AWS 
  • Problem-solver attitude, technology agnostic approach 
  • Successfully manage own workload, take ownership, and stay pro-active 
  • Keen to improve processes and share knowledge across the team 

 

It would be great if you had these to, but we’ll support you if you don’t: 

 

  • Experience with SQL stored procedures 
  • Worked with both backend and frontend, experience with NodeJS 
  • CI/CD experience, containers, cloud deployments, GitHub actions 
  • Familiarity with event-driven architecture 
  • Experience with data visualisation / reporting tools, like Lookr, QuickSight, etc
