• Developing scalable APIs, services and cloud-based solutions within an AWS environment.
• Working with modern versions of .NET, alongside React, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
• Getting involved across the development lifecycle, from solution design and coding through to deployment and operations.
• Collaborating closely with other engineers through pairing, code reviews and technical discussions.
• Helping the team increase its focus on new product development by improving processes and reducing maintenance overhead.
• Using AI-assisted development tools, with Claude currently the team's primary choice, to make development more efficient and the codebase easier to work with.
• Working closely with product and wider teams to turn customer and business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Playing a part in strengthening the internal engineering function as the business continues to scale.
