Contribute to the end-to-end design and delivery of features across the full stack using
- Backend: Kotlin/Java Spring Boot microservices, containerised and deployed on Azure Container
- Apps, exposing REST/OpenAPI APIs and integrating with other services and data stores.
- Frontend: React/TypeScript, shared design system components, and agreed architectural patterns, deployed on Azure Static Web Apps.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and help produce clear ADRs for significant decisions, documenting context, options, trade-offs, and outcomes in line with organisation standards.
- Support the squad’s services in production by contributing to SLOs and operational metrics, monitoring systems, responding to incidents, and helping to reduce recurring issues and improve reliability.
Apply secure and compliant engineering practices
- Follow secure coding standards and contribute to threat modelling activities.
- Ensure logging, audit trails, and data handling meet regulatory and privacy requirements.
- Ensure accessibility standards are met in user-facing features.
- Help strengthen observability and operational excellence within the squad by contributing to metrics, tracing, logs, dashboards, runbooks, and alerts, and using them effectively in day-to-day engineering work.
- Contribute to improvements in developer experience, including CI/CD pipelines, test strategy, local development workflows, and release practices, in line with wider engineering standards and cloud deployment patterns.
Use AI-assisted engineering responsibly
- Use approved tools like GitHub Copilot, Codex or Claude Code to improve speed, quality, and consistency.
- Validate and refine AI-generated code to ensure correctness, maintainability, and compliance.
- Share feedback and effective practices with the team.
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Designers to understand requirements, shape practical solutions, and deliver work aligned to product goals and timelines.
