- Make key architectural and technical decisions
- Improve performance, resilience, observability and testability
- Review code and collaborate on complex engineering challenges
- Help ensure our systems are safe, stable and ready for production
- Use modern AI tools to accelerate development, debugging, code review and incident investigation
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience
- Strong experience with Kotlin and Spring Boot
- Production experience with MongoDB
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerised services
- Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing and distributed systems
- Experience with performance, reliability and observability
- Active use of AI development tools such as Claude Code, Copilot or Cursor
- Strong English communication skills
- A proactive mindset and a high level of technical ownership
Nice to have
- Experience in safety-critical, regulated or high-availability environments
- Experience defining architecture across multiple services or teams
- Broader cloud and observability experience
- Experience introducing AI-assisted development practices to a team
