Senior Software Engineer - The Difference Engine : Job Details

Are you a Senior Software Engineer with experience in C# or java? Are you looking for an opportunity to be a technology disruptor / change maker in your role? Do you want a remote-first role at a company that lets you be in control of your own time?

We've been exclusively retained by our client, a well loved household name, known for the award winning delivery in the B2C space, to help them with their search for a Senior Software Engineer.

You will be working on their core technology, which links the every day user experience to back end B2B suppliers. This is mission critical software for this business.

At the crux of the successful applicant is a Senior Software Engineer who sees a programming language as a tool to address a challenge, rather than being hung up on the tooling itself. You'll have the ability to work with your peers to choose the best tool for the job, so if it's better to run with Go or Rust over what's in place already, with the buy-in of the tech leadership you'll have their full support to implement.

Essential skills for the role:-

• Minimum 6 years' experience working as a senior software engineer with C#. We'd also be interesting in speaking with java engineers who would be comfortable making the switch to C#.
• Minimum 6 years' experience working with cloud technology, ideally AWS, though other cloud techs are also of interest
• Comfortable developing APIs / RESTful
• Full ownership of your code, we're looking for this across the SDLC from TDD, through to CI/CD pipeline implementation and monitoring
• The ability to build systems that scale! This client is anticipating 3x growth, the platform already supports billions of transactions a day.

We're also looking for emerging leadership qualities, as evidenced in your ability to coach and mentor those around you.

Benefits

This is a hybrid role which will require your in-office attendance 2-3 days a month. The client is open to applicants living anywhere in the UK, but not overseas.

You'll also get:

• 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
• Generous company discounts (we can't tell you what these are in an ad, but they're a crowd-pleasing perk, to say the least)
• Flexible working hours (with core team hours of 10am - 4pm)
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental leave and adoption pay, plus other family friendly support
• Employee Assistance Programme and free access to counselling
• Health Plan
• Company Sick Pay scheme
• Regular wellbeing events
• Gym discount
• Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
• Death in Service cover
• Onsite subsidised coffee shop and onsite bar
• Cycle to Work scheme
• And more!

If you are into developing resilient, high volume trading systems, that integrate seamlessly into RESTful endpoints with an underlying design built to scale we'd love to hear from you.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply. Promising applicants can be assured of a response within 24 hours, to include full details of the role and the excellent benefits package on offer.
