Were looking for someone who combines architectural insight with a strong hands-on engineering background - someone who enjoys shaping technical direction while staying close to the code. Youll have knowledge of emerging trends and be able to quickly prototype new ideas to judge their value.
You will lead and guide the design of complex systems and well depend on your extensive experience judgement and insights to ensure that early delivery and continuous improvement is possible. Youll set standards for programming and produce software solutions in an agile lean and evolutionary manner. Importantly you will be responsible for the internal adoption of our technical strategy and will be an active contributor to strategy formulation.

Our current technologies include React user interfaces with services written in C# so previous experience with both is essential.

- Exceptional communication skills to bridge technical solutions with business needs and present these concepts to a variety of internal and customer stakeholders.
- Hands-on experience with designing solutions on cloud platforms such as Azure (our preference) or AWS including active participation in building CI/CD pipelines and instrumenting for operations is required.

- Proven experience in leading the design of complex software applications preferably for corporate enterprise where solutions comprise existing services alongside custom development.
