• Ensure performance, scalability, and security across all deployed applications.

About you:

• 7+ years’ commercial full stack development experience
• 2+ years in a senior or technical leadership capacity

• A passion for clean architecture, reusable code, and exceptional user experience

Why join:

You’ll be joining an established technology business operating on a global scale, working with a highly skilled engineering team who value collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. This is a great opportunity to make a real impact - owning architecture, guiding modernisation, and shaping product direction.

Benefits include:

• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Private health insurance and life cover
• Enhanced maternity/paternity leave
