📋 Description

• - Decompose ambiguous problems into clear system designs, making architectural decisions that balance immediate needs with long-term maintainability • - Design, build, and ship production-ready software across the full lifecycle — from specification through to deployment and operability • - Work across mixed environments — legacy modernisation alongside greenfield development, often within the same product • - Own technical decisions for complex system components, articulating trade-offs in terms your product manager and your principal engineer both understand • - Define what "good" looks like for your area of the codebase — testing strategy, code quality, observability, and documentation • - Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to understand the real problem before building anything

🎯 Requirements

• - A track record of building and shipping complex, real-world software systems — not just contributing to large codebases, but owning meaningful pieces end-to-end • - System design and architectural reasoning — you think about how components interact, where the failure modes are, and what happens at boundaries • - Problem decomposition under ambiguity — you ask 'why' before 'how' and can translate a vague business need into a structured technical approach • - Production-quality discipline — you care about testing, observability, error handling, and operational readiness, not just making things work locally • - Communication that reaches beyond engineers — you can explain a technical trade-off to a product manager, write a clear specification, and build consensus on contentious decisions • - Learning agility — you pick up new stacks, tools, and domains quickly. You've worked across more than one language or framework and you're comfortable in unfamiliar territory • - Ownership and initiative — you identify problems before they're assigned to you and follow through until they're resolved in production • Nice to have • - Experience using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your daily workflow • - Comfort evaluating and validating AI-generated code to the same standard as human-written code • - Experience in the public sector, health, housing, or local government domains • - Familiarity with .NET, Go, React/TypeScript, or similar modern stacks — we're polyglot, so language-specific depth matters less than the ability to learn • - Experience with legacy modernisation — understanding the constraints, risks, and stakeholder dynamics of replacing systems that are still in production • - Exposure to platform or product-led engineering environments
