## Description

A growing, product-led software business is looking for a Software Engineer to join its Product Development team on a hybrid basis (two days a week on-site in Newark). This is a genuine blend of hands-on development and support - you'll spend your time writing, debugging and improving code, delivering new features and automations, and stepping in to troubleshoot live issues when they arise. Because you'll be dealing directly with internal teams, customers and technology partners, you'll need to be as comfortable explaining a fix to a non-technical stakeholder as you are writing it.

It's a great fit for someone humble, hardworking and eager to learn - the kind of engineer who's genuinely passionate about tech, keeps an eye on new advancements, and wants to work somewhere they can grow across the full software lifecycle., * Writing, reviewing, debugging and refactoring code to improve reliability, performance and maintainability

 * Delivering new features, enhancements, integrations and internal automations
 * Investigating, diagnosing and resolving production issues, keeping stakeholders updated throughout
 * Proactively monitoring application health, logs and alerts to catch issues before they hit customers
 * Supporting customers and third-party developers integrating with the platform, including API troubleshooting
 * Collaborating with Product, Development and Operations teams to test, validate and release new functionality
 * Making sensible use of modern and AI-assisted development tools, always reviewing and validating outputs
 * Contributing to documentation, knowledge base articles and support procedures
