Job Description

Hybrid requirements: This role has flexible working patterns.
We are seeking a talented Senior Software Engineer with a strong bias towards action to join us. Our organisation is structured similarly to AWS, with each Product Line operating independently under a Single Threaded Owner (STO) at VP level. Within each Product Line, multiple Area Single Threaded Owners (Area-STOs) at Director level oversee several Impact Teams. Each Impact Team, led by an Impact Owner, comprises approximately eight engineers, designers and PMs who work autonomously, following their own processes and methodologies.
This Senior Engineer role is for either our Product Modelling Experience, Automation & AI, Assets or Collaboration Impact teams, the exact team will be decided based on your performance during the general interview loop (see below). Reporting directly to your chosen team's Impact Owner, who is either a Senior Product Manager or an Engineering Manager, you will collaborate closely with teams of engineers, product managers, designers and external stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Technical Excellence: Design and implement robust, scalable software solutions for complex problems (e.g., designing and implementing a new service outside of the existing monolith to handle product data enrichment, improving system scalability and performance)
Impact & Customer Centricity: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship solutions to our customer problems (e.g., creating a prototype of a possible solution to a customer issues after participating in a customer call)
Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code (e.g., refactoring a legacy module to improve code readability and reduce technical debt)
Team Work: Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other developers (e.g., reviewing pull requests and suggesting improvements in algorithm efficiency or code structure)
Mentorship: Mentor software engineers and contribute to the growth of the engineering team (e.g., pairing with software engineers on complex tasks and organising knowledge-sharing sessions on best practices)
Debugging & Optimisation: Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise application performance (e.g., identifying and resolving bottlenecks in database queries to improve overall system response time)
Innovation: Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in software development (e.g., researching and proposing the adoption of new technologies like GraphQL for API development)

Qualifications

Experience: You have 4+ years of experience in hands-on software development, with a strong background in building SaaS solutions. Preferably PHP, Go, Typescript and React.
Track Record: You have a history of delivering impact end-to-end as well as taking ownership of projects.
Technical Expertise: You possess in-depth knowledge of software development principles and have successfully built solutions that scale as well as working within complex monoliths.
Communication Skills: You can effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and work very well within a diverse team.
Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced, impact focused environment and can handle uncertainties and changing requirements.
Mentoring Skills: You have demonstrated that you can mentor and grow others in previous roles, guiding less experienced engineers through challenges so they can deliver impact.
