As Senior Software Engineer, you will be accountable for the design, development, deployment and maintenance of the software solutions that meet the needs of our business and our customers.

You will work closely with product, project, DevOps and QA colleagues, aligning your work to delivery timescales and escalating risks and issues to the Engineering Manager as needed. You will provide technical expertise across design, development and system integration, coach associate and mid-level engineers, and support the embedding of AI-assisted development tools into daily practice.

-   Support the technical release process and sprint retrospectives, driving continuous improvement in how the team works.
-   Contribute to architectural and design decisions for your area, making well-reasoned trade-offs and documenting them clearly.
-   Review the code of others and act on review feedback, upholding agreed coding standards, patterns and best practice.
-   Investigate and resolve production and technical incidents affecting your area, carrying out root-cause analysis and follow-up improvements.
-   Coach and mentor associate and mid-level engineers, advising on the correct procedures, policies and documentation requirements across projects.
-   Ensure the software you deliver meets the required standards for privacy, security, compliance and regulation.
-   Share knowledge across the team through code and architecture review, knowledge shares and continuous learning.
