Who you are:

You're a hands-on developer who gets stuck in, you enjoy solving complex problems & building impactful solutions - importantly you lead by example in making a difference

  • Take the initiative to own outcomes from start to finish - knowing what needs to be done within your domain and how we work together to deliver the best solution
  • You’ve a passion for developing your craft - you get what it takes to build quality, robust and scalable solutions
  • You’ll see the learning when things don’t quite go to plan - not just for you but how we continuously improve as a team

So, what is important to us:

  • 7+ years of relevant development experience building production grade solutions
  • Hands-on knowledge building on cloud service platforms (GCP, or AWS, Azure etc. )
  • Familiarity with messaging/streaming technology (Kafka or Pulsar, NATS, Rabbit etc. )
  • Delivery focussed with solid exposure to SOA and/or Microservices environment
  • Experience partnering and collaborating with remote teams (across different time zones)
  • Proven track record in learning new technologies and applying that learning quickly

Some of the things that would be nice to have, a plus but not required:

  • Practical production knowledge of datastores (relational, document, graph, search index)
  • Kafka - Streaming API, Connect, ksqlDB, Monitoring
  • ML experience building classifications and NLP ( like fastTest, Pandas)
  • Building search & analytics engines (with Elasticsearch, Solr, Lucene etc. )

Note - all candidates must be able to demonstrate their right to work in the UK

What we will offer you:

We can promise that every day will be a little different with new ideas, challenges & rewards.

We’ve been growing as a team and we are not done just yet, there is plenty of opportunity to shape how we deliver together.
