• Build, test, and maintain backend applications using modern development practices 

• Troubleshoot production issues and resolve incidents across live systems 

• Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders in agile ceremonies and delivery cycles 

• Support and enhance APIs and backend services within production environments 

• Contribute to continuous improvement and system performance optimisation 

• Balance multiple tasks in a dynamic, support-focused engineering environment 

As part of your growth, you’ll also gain exposure to modern engineering tooling and environments, including cloud platforms, containerisation, and frontend frameworks—helping you broaden your skillset over time. 

What you'll need to succeed 

You’re an early-career engineer who thrives on solving problems, learning quickly, and working across a variety of challenges. You bring a strong foundation in backend development and enjoy being hands-on in live environments.
