Software Engineer (Python)

Do you enjoy building scalable, cloud native platforms using Python and AWS?

Can you collaborate closely with other engineers to solve problems and improve code quality?, Working within a dedicated product team, you'll design, build and improve a core platform using Python and AWS, with a strong focus on scalable, cloud native solutions.

You'll collaborate closely with others through Agile sprints, actively contributing to ceremonies and regular pair programming to share knowledge and improve code quality.

You'll ideally bring experience of Test-Driven Development (TDD), or a mindset that values testing as part of building reliable, maintainable software., You're a Software Engineer with solid experience building and supporting applications in Python, and you're comfortable working in AWS based environments.

You bring an Agile mindset, value collaboration, and enjoy working closely with other engineers through pair programming and shared problem solving.

Experience modernising or refactoring legacy technologies, such as C++ or PHP, into cleaner Python solutions is advantageous, but more important is a curiosity for learning, improving and raising code quality across the team.

This role will involve on-call working on a rota basis (24/7)
