Job description

We offer remote or hybrid working, depending on location, with flexibility balanced against team performance and collaboration needs. We also provide an attractive benefits package, which may vary depending on your location. Full details will be shared during the initial screening, and we encourage you to come prepared with any questions.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop solutions by taking a holistic approach to problem solving, understanding business needs, service architecture, and underlying technologies and infrastructure.
  • Engage in the full SDLC: from forming requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, to monitoring, ownership sits with you end to end.
  • Take full ownership of your code and maintain it to a high standard, continuously improving and refactoring when needed.
  • Build for performance, scale, and resilience, operating in an environment where downtime, latency, and data loss are not acceptable.
  • Work in small, autonomous teams with short release cycles, balancing speed with engineering discipline.
  • Learn from peers and actively share knowledge, contributing to a culture of honest feedback and continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • Passion for building AI-driven solutions using rich, large scale datasets, with the ambition to take advantage of the tools, resources, and engineering support needed to solve challenging real world problems.
  • Experience building services in a microservices architecture.
  • Strong understanding of communication protocols such as HTTP, WebSockets, and AMQP, and when to apply each.
  • Experience with at least one modern web framework (language-agnostic mindset preferred).
  • Deep understanding of relational databases, including indexing, transactions, isolation levels, locking mechanisms, and high-performance design.
  • Ability to design and operate systems that perform reliably at scale.
