Drive technical direction while staying close to the code
Work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to shape solutions
Operate in ambiguity and bring others along with you
Deliver outcomes, not just ideas

This is a high trust, high expectation environment where strong engineers thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing and building scalable, production grade systems across frontend and backend
Leading technical discussions while actively collaborating with peers and stakeholders
Translating requirements into pragmatic, well structured solutions

Red Flags for This Role

This environment will not suit engineers who:

• Stay too high level and avoid implementation detail
• Rely heavily on AI tools without understanding the output
• Struggle to collaborate or communicate clearly
• Over engineer or fail to prioritise effectively
• Cannot demonstrate hands on coding ability when needed

Tech Environment

• Modern frontend frameworks such as React
• Backend services and APIs such as Node or Java
• Cloud native architecture, AWS preferred
