• Familiarity with front-end development using React, Vue, or similar
• Working knowledge of AWS services such as EC2, RDS, S3 (or willingness to learn)
• Comfortable working in Git-based workflows
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to writing secure, scalable code
• A collaborative mindset and a willingness to learn from and support your team

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, etc.)
• Awareness of web application security and performance best practices
• Interest in product thinking and user experience
• Previous experience in regulated sectors (insurance, legal, financial services)

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Flexible hybrid working - just 1 day per week in our Heald Green office
• Opportunity to grow with a supportive, forward-thinking engineering culture
• Work on real-world platforms that impact customers and teams daily
• Pathway to a Senior Developer role as the company and product evolve
• A voice in shaping the team, processes, and technologies we use
