Description

  • Decompose ambiguous business problems into clear system designs with sound architectural decisions.
  • Design, build, and ship production-ready software from specification through deployment and operability.
  • Work across legacy modernisation and greenfield development within the same product environment.
  • Own technical decisions for complex system components and communicate trade-offs clearly to product and engineering stakeholders.
  • Define engineering standards for testing, code quality, observability, and documentation in your area of the codebase.
  • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering partners to understand the real problem before building solutions.
  • Translate requirements into structured technical approaches that work in production.
  • Contribute to systems that support real users, real constraints, and real consequences.

Requirements

  • Track record of building and shipping complex, real-world software systems end to end.
  • Strong system design and architectural reasoning across component interactions, boundaries, and failure modes.
  • Ability to decompose problems under ambiguity and translate vague needs into structured technical plans.
  • Production-quality discipline, including testing, observability, error handling, and operational readiness.
  • Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including writing specifications and building consensus.
  • Learning agility across new stacks, tools, and domains, with experience in more than one language or framework.
  • Ownership and initiative to identify problems early and follow through to resolution in production.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Copilot, or Cursor (preferred).
  • Comfort validating AI-generated code to the same standard as human-written code (preferred).
  • Experience in public sector, health, housing, or local government domains (preferred).
  • Familiarity with .NET, Go, React/TypeScript, or similar modern stacks (preferred).
  • Experience with legacy modernisation and the constraints of replacing systems still in production (preferred).
  • Exposure to platform or product-led engineering environments (preferred).

Benefits

  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy up to 10 extra days.
  • Up to 3 additional days off for volunteering.
  • 5% employer pension match.
  • Income protection covering up to 75% of salary for long-term illness.
  • Life assurance of 4x salary as a tax-free lump sum.
