We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a growing Digital Platform function within a technology-driven organisation undergoing continued international expansion.
This role sits within a newly formed platform squad focused on strengthening, stabilising, and evolving a modern web platform built on a Next.js stack. The organisation is investing in long-term platform scalability (8–10 year vision), improving engineering standards, tooling, CI/CD, testing, and observability.
You will play a key role in ensuring engineering teams can deliver product work efficiently and release with confidence, while helping shape platform capabilities, technical direction, and best practices.
This is primarily an individual contributor role with potential mentoring responsibilities.
The Role
Working within a platform squad, you will focus on shoring up the web platform – improving reliability, release processes, developer experience, and platform tooling across multiple product squads.
You will be expected to take ownership of problems, proactively suggest improvements, and help drive technical and process changes that strengthen delivery across the wider engineering organisation.
An analytical mindset is important, particularly around tracking, observability, and ensuring analytics implementations are reliable and measurable.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to the evolution of the platform architecture across a modern Next.js stack
- Strengthen CI/CD pipelines to enable safe, frequent releases
- Improve production stability, release processes, and platform health
- Introduce faster and more effective testing approaches (including visual regression)
- Improve observability, monitoring, and analytics reliability
- Support integration with multiple SaaS products
- Evolve component systems and developer tooling
- Ensure squads have the platform capabilities needed to deliver their roadmap
- Proactively identify technical gaps and own solutions end-to-end
- Mentor engineers where required and support delivery across squads
Skills & Experience Required
- Strong full stack experience with React, Next.js, and Node.js
- Experience delivering scalable production web applications
- Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
- Experience improving platform reliability, release processes, and developer workflows
- Strong understanding of testing strategies and observability
- Experience integrating SaaS platforms and APIs
- Comfortable working in multidisciplinary agile squads
- Self-starter mindset with the ability to identify and own problems
- Strong communication skills and ability to propose technical/process improvements
- Analytics, tracking, or GTM ownership within engineering teams
- Observability tooling (e.g., Datadog or similar)
- Visual regression testing tools (e.g., Percy)
- TypeScript
- GraphQL
- Algolia or search platforms
- Experience using AI tooling to improve developer productivity
- Platform-focused squad working alongside product squads
- Squad composition includes senior engineers, mid-level engineers, automation engineers, and a technical product partner
- Strong emphasis on CI, observability, release discipline, and platform quality
- Engineering culture focused on continuous improvement and long-term platform thinking
Why Join?
- Opportunity to shape a modern platform during a significant scaling phase
- Influence engineering standards, tooling, and delivery practices
- Work on a platform designed for long-term evolution rather than short-term fixes
- Join a proactive engineering culture that values ownership and continuous improvement
- Exposure to international product expansion and platform challenges
- Generous benefits package
If you’re a proactive engineer who spots problems, owns solutions, and enjoys shaping how modern platforms evolve, we’d love to share more.
