We’re interested in hearing from people who: 

• Demonstrate end-to-end leadership across architecture, technology, and strategy, shaping distributed system designs, setting engineering direction and standards, mentoring teams, and aligning technology decisions with business priorities to deliver scalable, resilient, and future-ready platforms
• Bring proven experience designing and delivering scalable, resilient enterprise systems in high-volume, customer-facing environments
• Have deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot microservices, with openness to evolving towards .NET-based architectures
• Possess strong experience across event-driven systems, microservices, and Domain-Driven Design, using technologies such as Kafka and RabbitMQ
• Build and operate cloud-native solutions on AWS, including EC2, Lambda, ECS/Fargate, RDS, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation/CDK
• Champion DevSecOps practices, owning CI/CD, automated testing, security, observability, and continuous improvement
• Are proficient in containerisation and infrastructure as code, including Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible
• Lead with a hands-on engineering mindset, mentoring others while driving high standards in code quality, performance, and reliability

Tech skills:
