Overview

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a growing Digital Platform function within a technology-driven organisation undergoing continued international expansion.

This role sits within a newly formed platform squad focused on strengthening, stabilising, and evolving a modern web platform built on a Next.js stack. The organisation is investing in long-term platform scalability (8-10 year vision), improving engineering standards, tooling, CI/CD, testing, and observability.

You will play a key role in ensuring engineering teams can deliver product work efficiently and release with confidence, while helping shape platform capabilities, technical direction, and best practices.

This is primarily an individual contributor role with potential mentoring responsibilities.

The Role

Working within a platform squad, you will focus on shoring up the web platform - improving reliability, release processes, developer experience, and platform tooling across multiple product squads.

You will be expected to take ownership of problems, proactively suggest improvements, and help drive technical and process changes that strengthen delivery across the wider engineering organisation.

An analytical mindset is important, particularly around tracking, observability, and ensuring analytics implementations are reliable and measurable.
