## About the Role

* Experience as a technical lead or equivalent - with or without the title - accountable for technical direction in a software team.
 * The ability to get productive fast in a large, imperfect codebase - you'll be in a substantial legacy .NET / C# platform from day one. Deep .NET isn't required; strong fundamentals and comfort in messy, low-coverage code are.
 * Designing scalable, resilient, secure systems with honest trade-offs - improving legacy code incrementally rather than rebuilding from scratch.
 * Strong unit-testing discipline and commitment to code quality, including where that culture must be established, not just maintained.
 * A talent for making the engineers around you better - through review, mentoring, and clear standards.
 * Good judgement on AI-assisted development, and the ability to help a team develop it.
 * Communicating technical thinking clearly to commercially minded, non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable

 * A bias for simplicity and maintainability - comfortable pushing back on unnecessary complexity.
 * Front-end development experience.
 * Deeper practice in TDD, BDD, observability, or Infrastructure as Code.
 * Agile experience, comfort with ambiguity, and familiarity with CI/CD and fast feedback loops.
 * Curiosity about customer and business context - you ask why, not just how., We are tenacious for personal excellence. Always look to learn and improve (growth mindset), be positive, be proactive not reactive; be disciplined not to cut corners for short-term gain; pay attention to detail; go the extra mile; and have fun!

## Description

* A multi-brand booking platform with complex domain logic across consumer and vendor-facing surfaces.
 * Levelling up an established team - stronger testing, review, and engineering practice, and mentoring as you go.
 * Architectural direction for how the new and old systems coexist and evolve - the trade-offs and the long-term shape.
 * The platform's operational health - monitoring, alerting, observability, and a close relationship with our Infrastructure Engineer.
 * Setting the team's instincts for AI-assisted development.
 * A codebase where your decisions are visible, your standards matter, and your impact is real.
