Job description

Working primarily with Python and AWS, you’ll tackle interesting challenges across distributed systems, scalability and event-driven architecture. The business is also moving away from a large monolith towards a more distributed architecture, giving you genuine ownership over how the platform evolves.

What will you be doing?

  • Building scalable backend services and APIs using Python and AWS.
  • Evolving a monolithic architecture towards distributed, event-driven systems.
  • Owning complex engineering problems from design through to production.
  • Working closely with Product and Design to deliver customer-facing features.
  • Improving system reliability, performance and engineering quality., Join a growing technology business where engineering is central to the product. You’ll work on a platform built in-house, rather than maintaining third-party technology, with real opportunities to influence architecture, technical direction and the customer experience.

Requirements

  • 5+ years’ commercial software engineering experience.
  • Strong backend development skills, ideally Python.
  • Experience building APIs and distributed systems.
  • Good understanding of cloud infrastructure, databases and messaging systems.
  • Strong product mindset and end-to-end ownership.
  • An interest in using AI tools and agentic workflows to improve engineering productivity.

Experience with AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker or observability tooling would be advantageous., For a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys building products, solving challenging backend problems and having genuine ownership, this is a great opportunity.
