What you'll deliver in this role

• As a Senior Software Engineer here, you won't just code; you'll own it. Our "Built It, Own It" philosophy means you'll be integral to the entire lifecycle, from crafting elegant microservices and robust cloud architectures to implementing deployment and observability best practices. You'll be empowered to make a real difference.

• Communication is key to our collaborative success. You'll be a vital bridge, effortlessly translating complex technical concepts for both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders. Your ability to connect and influence will be crucial as we continue to innovate.

• Quality isn't an afterthought; it's ingrained in your DNA. You'll champion a test-driven approach, ensuring the reliability and robustness of everything we build. Your commitment to excellence will be instrumental in maintaining our high standards.

• More than just a technologist, you're a customer advocate. You understand that technology serves a purpose, and you're driven by a desire to deeply understand user needs and deliver solutions that have a tangible business impact.
