The Opportunity

- Build strong relationships across the company to support seamless development workflows.
Contribute to backend and frontend code bases
- Maintain and improve our frontend and backend systems, ensuring stability and security.
- Investigate bugs and implement reliable fixes. Ensure that issues are addressed promptly and solutions are delivered in a way that improves long-term code health.
Support product evolution through user feedback
- Incorporate user insights and feedback to inform the development of new features and enhancements.
- Contribute ideas that support both user satisfaction and business goals.
Proactively support and drive continuous improvement
- Review and refine our engineering processes, tooling, and workflows to increase efficiency and streamline prioritisation across teams.
Mentor and support team members
- Share knowledge and support the professional growth of fellow engineers through mentorship, code reviews, and technical guidance.
What You’ll Bring

- Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go)
- Experience working with web technologies and cloud infrastructure
- Familiarity with scalable backend systems and API development
