We are seeking a talented Senior Software Engineer with a strong bias towards action to join us. Our organisation is structured similarly to AWS, with each Product Line operating independently under a Single Threaded Owner (STO) at VP level. Within each Product Line, multiple Area Single Threaded Owners (Area-STOs) at Director level oversee several Impact Teams. Each Impact Team, led by an Impact Owner, comprises approximately eight engineers, designers and PMs who work autonomously, following their own processes and methodologies.

This Senior Engineer role will contribute to one of our various Impact Teams, which focus on different areas of our product. The specific team will be determined based on your performance and interests during the general interview process (see below). Reporting directly to your chosen team's Impact Owner, who is either a Senior Product Manager or an Engineering Manager, you will collaborate closely with teams of engineers, product managers, designers and external stakeholders.

• Technical Excellence: Design and implement robust, scalable software and infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions for complex problems.
• Impact & Customer Centricity: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship solutions to our customer problems.
• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
• Team Work: Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other developers.
• Mentorship: Mentor software engineers and contribute to the growth of the engineering team.
• Debugging & Optimisation: Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise application performance.
• Innovation: Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in software development.

• Experience: You have 6+ years of experience in hands-on software development, with a strong background in building SaaS solutions. Preferably PHP, Go, Python, Typescript and React.
• Track Record: You have a history of delivering impact end-to-end as well as taking ownership of projects.
• Technical Expertise: You possess in-depth knowledge of software development principles.
• Communication Skills: You can effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced, impact focused environment.
• Mentoring Skills: You have demonstrated that you can mentor and grow others in previous roles.

All interviews will be conducted remotely and ideally within two weeks, depending on your availability. We are asking for a total of around six hours of your time. There are no take home exercises, coding tests or surprises.
