Senior Software Engineer

Multi-Project Delivery

Work across several concurrent workstreams - spanning feature development, platform improvements, and infrastructure initiatives - balancing competing priorities while maintaining code quality and delivery pace.

Engineering Best Practices

Champion and help embed engineering best practices (code review standards, testing, CI/CD, documentation) across the team, acting as a role model for the standard of work expected from senior engineers.

Process & Ways-of-Working Adoption

Support the roll-out and adoption of new tools, processes, and ways of working as the engineering function matures, helping teammates understand the "why" behind changes and troubleshooting adoption friction.

Mentoring & Technical Guidance

Mentor less experienced engineers through pairing, code review, and informal guidance, helping build technical capability and confidence across the team.

As we scale our platform across UK and US markets, we are looking to appoint a Senior Software Engineer within our Engineering team. You'll work across a mix of PHP (Symfony/Laravel) applications running on AWS (EC2 and EKS), contributing hands-on to multiple concurrent projects while helping raise the bar on engineering practices across the team. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone confident operating independently, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated by mentoring others as the team continues to mature.

This is a hybrid role with minimum of 2 days required in our Cramlington office, * Our stack is PHP (Symfony/Laravel) with Vue.js front ends - but we're open to strong engineers from other frameworks (e.g. Rails, Django, .NET) or other JS frameworks (React, Angular) who can demonstrate solid fundamentals and pick things up quickly

• Comfortable working across JavaScript, SCSS, and Twig as part of day-to-day full-stack delivery, or a proven track record of moving fluently across a similar front-to-back stack

• Solid working knowledge of AWS (EC2, EKS/containers, RDS, or similar services)

• Background in DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering

• Comfortable working across multiple projects and shifting priorities

• Confident, senior-level communicator able to work autonomously and influence without authority

• Experience mentoring or supporting the development of other engineers

• Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g. Grafana, Prometheus/Mimir) is a plus

• Pragmatic approach to trade-offs between speed, technical debt, and long-term maintainability

• Ability to effectively manage conflict and give and receive feedback confidently to all levels
