WHAT WILL YOU DO

In this role, you will work closely with the Vertical Leads across Delivery, Technical, QA, Architecture, and Functional areas to ensure the successful delivery of work within the timelines agreed with the business.

You will collaborate with the Technical and Architecture Leads to support the engineering of a diverse portfolio of applications, ensuring that all work adheres to established design best practices. A critical part of the role will involve understanding technical dependencies with other applications and teams, and working with Lead Developers and Architects to implement the correct technical solutions.

Consistency in architecture and design will be central to your responsibilities. You will work alongside the Architecture team to help shape and influence these principles, as well as ensure that robust code reviews are carried out, either personally or by the wider team.

In addition, knowledge of messaging technologies is essential, with specific experience in RabbitMQ or Kafka considered a plus. Familiarity with SpecFlow and test-driven development (TDD) would be an advantage, as would hands-on experience with modern web UI frameworks such as Vue.js, Angular, or lit-element.

•    Ability to work in an everchanging environment, where priorities shift regularly
•    Ability to balance ideal solutions with practical delivery of requirements
•    Experience within a trading or data intensive organisation required e.g., commodities, financial, betting etc.
