Your New Role

We are in the middle of an exciting technical and cultural transformation. Our current platform combines many independently deployed services with a customer experience stitched together from several different web technologies. While this has served us in the past, this level of complexity makes it hard to reason about end-to-end journeys and slows our ability to deliver safely and often. Your role helps us simplify and stabilise this landscape across both our services and front-end experiences. You will support the move toward a more unified architecture, build pragmatic automated tests around critical flows, and give engineers fast, reliable feedback so we can ship small, safe changes every day.

• Test and build the new unified front-end architecture that replaces our current multi-technology stack
• Leverage pragmatic testing practices that enable rapid, confident releases without excessive test maintenance burden
• Work with product and design teams to deliver end-to-end customer experiences
• Identify gaps in test coverage and work with the team to address them
• Provide technical product support
• Participate in code reviews to learn our systems, providing critical feedback opportunities.

Your Skills and Experience

• Curiosity, energy and a strong desire to grow as an engineer, with a mindset of continual learning.
• Evidence that you can learn new technologies quickly, for example through university work, side projects or internships.
• Willingness to work in a high accountability, high performance engineering culture.
• Comfort investigating problems, asking for help early and working with others to find pragmatic solutions.
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially when explaining tradeoffs and asking questions.
• You are proud of what you build and are keen to walk us through examples of your own code, side projects or university work.
