Senior Software Engineer

Environment

You will work across a React + React Native frontend and a Node.js / Express backend, with RabbitMQ for messaging, MySQL + Redis for storage and caching, and Kubernetes on AWS for deployment.

The platform is built on a modern microservices architecture, but it requires significant investment in testing, observability, and code quality to ensure long-term reliability and scale.

You will be the key technical authority driving stabilisation and improvement, working closely with our DevOps Lead to deliver performance, security, and resilience.

Key Responsibilities

• Stabilise the Codebase : Diagnose and resolve technical debt, prioritising production-grade logging and a robust testing strategy (Unit, Integration, E2E).
• Develop Features : Build, maintain, and enhance our React (web) and React Native (mobile) applications post-production release.
• Backend & APIs : Maintain, refactor, and extend Node.js / Express microservices, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and well-documented.
• Reliability & Monitoring : Implement monitoring, alerting, and logging to provide clear insights into production behaviour.
• Infrastructure Collaboration : Partner with the DevOps Lead to refine CI / CD (Jenkins), improve AWS Kubernetes deployments, and evolve Terraform-based IaC.
• Raise Engineering Standards : Lead by example through code reviews, mentoring, and establishing best practices as the team grows.

Tech Stack

• Frontend : React.js, React Native, Redux
• Backend : Node.js, Express.js, Microservices, Kong API Gateway
• Data & Messaging : MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ

• Understanding of system design, scaling, and microservices .
• Knowledge of security practices (auth, PCI DSS, data protection).
• Experience with logging, monitoring, and observability tools .
• Familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI / CD .

Nice to Have

• Leadership in raising engineering standards and mentoring.
• Strong communication skills to articulate technical debt and advocate improvements.
