Senior Software Engineer

• You build and maintain backend services, APIs, data persistence, and frontend interfaces - design decisions are made collectively
• You work in small increments, integrate frequently, and keep the codebase in a releasable state at all times
• You design APIs with the consumer in mind: intuitive, versioned, consistent, and built to evolve.
• You co-own data modelling decisions with your team: schema design, query patterns, and migration strategy
• You write automated tests as a first-class deliverable - unit, integration, and API-level - and instrument your software for observability from day one.
• You improve existing code as you go - refactoring is part of delivery, not a separate activity
• You deploy and operate software as a team - everyone understands how the system runs in production, not just the person who last touched it
• You document design decisions, API contracts, and domain knowledge clearly in writing, and communicate proactively about blockers, tradeoffs, and progress
• You pair with teammates regularly and share effective patterns and tools - including AI workflows - with the team
• Code review is a team practice, not a gate. You give feedback that improves the code and the engineer, and you receive it with the same openness

• You have 5+ years of professional software engineering with production delivery experience and a demonstrated ability to shape systems, not just implement features
• You bring genuine full-stack capability - backend, APIs, data layer, and frontend - with the ability to deliver a complete feature without handoff
• You have strong API development experience: design, implementation, versioning, and consumer-first thinking
• You are proficient with databases across both relational and document paradigms
• You practice automated testing discipline - tests are part of delivery, not an afterthought
• You have cloud deployment awareness: you understand how software gets from code to production
• You actively use AI-assisted development tooling (Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, or equivalent)
• You communicate clearly and effectively in writing, in English - you default to async and use synchronous time intentionally.

Good To Have

• You have infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK, or equivalent)
• You practice hands-on observability - you instrument what you ship
• You have software design awareness including SOLID principles and knowing when not to apply them
• You have experience with NoSQL or document stores (MongoDB, Elasticsearch, or similar)
• You apply security awareness in design and implementation: input validation, authentication patterns, dependency hygiene
• You have experience in a remote-first or distributed engineering team
• You are familiar with event-driven architecture or microservices patterns

• A role in a global logistics technology company working on software that routes and plans millions of vehicle movements across Europe and beyond
• A Remote-First engineering culture with meaningful async collaboration - a team that values doing the right thing over velocity metrics
• A real transformation to contribute to: cloud-native platform with meaningful engineering decisions still ahead
• Modern tooling and a culture that actively invests in AI-assisted workflows, observability, and continuous delivery
• Professional development and the autonomy to shape how we build software going forward
• Regular team events and a strong engineering community across a mid-sized, focused organisation
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience, reviewed regularly
