ABOUT THE ROLE

We want to expand our platform team with an engineer to help us architect and build new features and products, and deliver enhancements to existing ones.

The platform team is responsible for the software infrastructure that runs the company's SaaS products and we own the award-winning BMLL Data Lab application, comprising services processing hundreds of millions of transactions a week.

We use a modern service stack comprising Docker/OpenAPI/Python/Flask/Huey. Our UIs are built in React and our infrastructure in Terraform. Testing is via Pytest, Jest and Playwright, log analysis is via CloudWatch and/or Splunk.

We have a vigorous CI/CD culture and quality is right at the heart of what we do. Simple and comprehensible generally beats complex and indirect.

This is a fast paced environment. You'll thrive here if you like a challenge, but we're distinctly supportive, collaborative and friendly.

You're a productive, precise, adaptable, upbeat and gregarious software engineer with a track record in industry. You're ambitious and own what you achieve. You've know there aren't any shortcuts to success and you can achieve a lot on your own but more when you work collectively.

You'll get the opportunity to deal directly with customers, to feed in new ideas, to influence the way we work and to deal directly with senior people in the company. It'll all be up to you.
