- Take ownership of features from initial understanding and technical design through to deployment, monitoring and improvement.
- Work with Product Managers, engineers, data specialists and DevOps colleagues to turn requirements into clear, working software.
- Use AI-assisted development tools for codebase exploration, research, design, implementation, testing, debugging, refactoring, documentation and review.
- Critically review and validate AI-assisted output for correctness, security, performance and maintainability before it becomes part of our products.
- Write unit, integration, component and end-to-end tests that safeguard reliability and meaningful behaviour.
- Build and integrate APIs, distributed services and cloud-native components on Google Cloud Platform.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and release processes that support safe, repeatable delivery.
- Take ownership of debugging, root-cause analysis, optimisation and the resolution of production issues.
- Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions, and help us continuously improve our engineering practices.
Requirements
- Strong professional experience with Node.js, React and TypeScript in production environments.

- Strong grounding in testing practices, including unit, integration and automated testing; experience with Jest and TDD is beneficial.
- Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform, together with Git, Docker and CI/CD workflows.
- A willingness to use AI coding assistants and agentic tools as part of everyday software delivery, and to learn how to use them effectively.
- Strong technical judgement when working with AI: you can provide appropriate context and constraints, critically review generated output, and identify incorrect, insecure or unsuitable suggestions. You remain accountable for the work you deliver.
- An analytical and curious approach, with the persistence to investigate complex systems and solve real-world problems.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, pragmatic approach to delivery.
