• Provide hands-on technical leadership through coding, pair programming, code reviews, troubleshooting and resolution of complex cross-system issues.
• Translate business outcomes into clear technical requirements, solution options, architecture decisions, delivery estimates and implementation plans.
• Own end-to-end solution design, including API contracts, event-driven integration, data flows, domain boundaries, resilience, performance and observability.
• Build and evolve secure, scalable AWS solutions using services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, Fargate, IAM, VPC, load balancing, storage and managed databases.
• Implement and improve CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, containerisation, deployment, monitoring and operational support practices.
• Embed security throughout the software development lifecycle, including threat modelling, secure coding, secrets management, vulnerability remediation and security controls.
• Lead technical analysis, proof-of-concepts and design reviews; challenge assumptions and make pragmatic decisions based on risk, value, cost and maintainability.
• Coach engineers in coding practices, architecture, testing and DevSecOps while maintaining accountability for delivery quality and engineering outcomes.
• Drive engineering governance, continuous delivery and technological simplification pillars such as Cloud and Payments Event based architecture.

What you'll need

• Extensive software engineering experience with recent hands-on contributions to production code.
• Strong proficiency in C#, .NET and .NET Core, including REST APIs, background services, dependency injection, asynchronous programming, testing and performance optimisation.
