With a strong reputation for innovation, reliability, and customer delivery, they are continuing to invest in modern, cloud-native technologies and are expanding their engineering capability to support new product development and market growth.

The Candidate: This role would suit a highly capable full-stack engineer who enjoys working across the entire technology stack and taking ownership of end-to-end solutions. You will be technically strong and comfortable leading from the front, mentoring others, and influencing technical direction.

The Role: This is a hands-on Engineering Technical Lead position, where you will play a key role in designing and delivering modern, cloud-native applications. You will work across a cutting-edge stack, including TypeScript and AWS (CDK), within a microservices architecture, contributing to both Back End services and Front End applications.

• Collaborate with Product, Architecture, and DevOps teams.
