THE ROLE

As a Senior Back End Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in our technical ecosystem, providing leadership, problem-solving expertise, and technical direction to deliver high-impact projects. Working closely with a talented team of engineers, product managers, data scientists and solution architects, you’ll tackle complex challenges in data and infrastructure, contributing to the success of major initiatives to help us deliver quality as a business.
We’re looking for someone with strong technical leadership ability who can take ownership and accountability for large scale projects. Your day might range from designing and building APIs, to optimising database queries, to researching new platforms for user authentication. You’ll act as not only a problem solver, but also a problem finder, and work directly with the Director of Engineering to come up with solutions. This role is ideal for someone who is excited by complex, challenging technical problems and the chance to work with highly experienced and talented engineers to help them grow and develop in the next step of their careers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide technical leadership and guidance on back-end development projects, taking ownership of key deliverables and ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Solution Architects, to understand business requirements, identify problems, and develop innovative solutions.
• Lead by example, demonstrating a proactive approach to problem-solving and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement within the engineering team.
• Delegate tasks effectively, leveraging the strengths of team members and fostering a collaborative working environment.
• Act as a mentor, providing guidance and support to junior and senior engineers, fostering their growth and development within the organisation.
• Take ownership of large-scale projects and work directly with senior management on company processes and OKRs.
