Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining systems within the BSS/OSS space. This role exists to bring strong technical expertise into the team, ensuring software is robust, scalable, and secure, while contributing to the design and planning of key components within larger platform initiatives. You'll play a key role in shaping solutions, embedding non-functional requirements such as performance, maintainability, and security, while supporting the wider engineering team through best practice and technical guidance. What will you be doing day-to-day?

Here are a few examples of what you could be involved with:

  • Leading key aspects of technical design, development, code review, and testing for delivered components
  • Supporting and coaching engineers within the team on technologies, standards, and best practices
  • Contributing to and enhancing CI/CD pipelines and engineering practices within the squad
  • Participating in Agile ceremonies and supporting project delivery and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Collaborating with Product, Operations, and other stakeholders to refine and improve requirements
  • Ensuring systems meet standards across cost control, security, configuration, and asset management
  • Creating clear technical documentation to support maintainability, operability, and business continuity
  • Driving quality through robust testing strategies and identifying opportunities to adopt new technologies

Requirements

You don't need experience in everything listed-but we're especially keen to hear from people with some of the following skills:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Java (Java 8+) and a solid understanding of object-oriented programming principles
  • Experience designing and building RESTful APIs with a focus on scalability and maintainability
  • Strong SQL and database design experience, with performance optimisation knowledge
  • Experience using version control systems (ideally Git) within collaborative environments
  • Knowledge of automated testing frameworks (e.g. JUnit, Cucumber, Selenium) and CI/CD practices
  • Experience working in Agile teams and using tools such as Jira
  • Familiarity with AWS and cloud-native development (desirable)
  • Understanding of containerisation technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) (desirable)
