Senior Software Engineer

Build the platform other engineers love to use.

We’re working with a leading European digital platform that supports millions of users every year . Behind the scenes is a large, mature engineering organisation — and a dedicated team whose mission is simple but ambitious:

Make building software fast, reliable, and enjoyable.

Developer Experience here is treated as a first‑class product , not an afterthought.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer , you’ll help design and evolve an internal engineering platform used by autonomous product teams across the organisation.

You’ll operate at the intersection of platform engineering, DevOps, and product development , shaping standardised “golden paths” while removing friction from the entire software delivery lifecycle.

This is a high‑ownership role with real influence over both what gets built and how engineering teams work.

What You’ll Work On

• Building and scaling internal platform services used by product teams daily
• Designing reusable platform patterns, service boundaries, and building blocks
• Creating self‑service workflows that enable teams to spin up, deploy, and run services in minutes
• Developing backbone libraries and SDKs for consistent service development
• Defining and evolving engineering standards and golden paths (CI/CD, repos, workflows)
• Applying AI and automation to boost developer productivity and reduce manual effort
• Improving observability, reliability, and platform consistency across services
• Removing bottlenecks and simplifying cross‑team collaboration with DevOps, QA, and Security

Your Background

• 7+ years of professional Software engineering or Platform Engineering experience
• Strong hands‑on experience with C# / .Net Core coding skills
• Solid experience with AWS , CI/CD , and Infrastructure as Code
• Experience building internal platforms, tooling, or reusable services
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, ELK)
• Hands‑on exposure to AI in engineering workflows (automation, optimisation, productivity)
• Terraform and CircleCI experience are strong pluses

How You Think & Work

• You treat developer experience as a product
• You value simplicity, automation, and self‑service over complexity
• You deliver pragmatically, iterate fast, and avoid over‑engineering
• You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
• You communicate clearly and influence beyond your immediate team

Why Engineers Join

• Work on platform problems at real scale
• High autonomy and trust — outcomes matter more than process
• Strong engineering culture with senior‑level peers
• Opportunity to shape how hundreds of engineers build and ship software
• Competitive compensation and long‑term stability
