As a Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in bringing ideas from our product backlog to life-whether that's building new features that delight customers, shaping strategic improvements, or helping reduce technical debt. You'll have opportunities to take ownership of your own work while also contributing through collaboration, mentorship, and thoughtful input on design decisions across technical, architectural, or UI/UX aspects. No matter your experience level, your curiosity, initiative, and willingness to grow will be valued. Role Overview: As an Engineer, you'll play a key part in shaping and delivering work from our product backlog, including new features, customer-focused enhancements, strategic business requirements, bug fixes and technical improvements as prioritised by the Product Owner.

Quality matters to us, so a thoughtful approach to performance, security, and team-wide engineering standards is highly valued. We're looking for someone who respects existing technologies and practices but is equally enthusiastic about helping shape their evolution as the team and business continue to grow-always with a humble, team-first mindset.
