Job description
We're hiring a full stack engineer to help own the shared foundation that every Product Team builds on - shared components, design system standards, tooling, and architecture.
This isn't a feature team. Your work has a multiplying effect, the components you build and the standards you help shape are used by every team that ships product. You'll rotate into Product Teams to support them on new patterns and challenges, staying close to how the foundation is used and bringing what you learn back.
We believe AI and agentic development has thrown out the old playbook. The way software gets built is being rethought from the ground up, and we're not sitting that out. We're figuring out what it looks like for us - and you'll be part of shaping it., From time to time, the key responsibilities may change or be adapted to the needs of the business; however, the below gives an overview of the key focus areas.
-
Own and evolve the shared component library
-
Build and maintain shared backend modules, SDKs, and platform-level services used across Product Teams
-
Contribute to shared modules and platform-level services
-
Own and evolve the backend architecture - APIs, data models, and service patterns
-
Improve the backend build pipeline, tooling, and developer experience
-
Support Product Teams through rotations, reviews, and direct collaboration
-
Drive continuous improvements to engineering practices, It's safe to say our passion is tech, but we recognise that the people we hire and bring together are at the heart of the organisation.

-
Teamwork

Merit

Develop
-
Honest
-
Impactful
-
Integrity
