Description
Hybrid requirements: This role has flexible working patterns.
As part of our diverse tech team, you can work alongside talented engineers in an open, supportive, inclusive environment where your voice is valued and you solve challenging tech problems.

How will you make an impact in this role?
We are looking for a senior engineer with excellent taste in system design and coding style. You will not be part of a single team, rather work across a variety of different groups to coach, mentor and enable their modern software design.
Our technology stack of choice is React, Kotlin and GCP’s big data tools. Experience with two of these is required, with a desire to learn the other.
How you communicate your designs and patterns is as important as the correctness, maintainability, and performance. You should have a consistent track record of bringing others with you, even in the face of adversity.
You will get to work on a greenfield platform with modern technology solving multifaceted technical and business problems.
