We are looking for talented and experienced Software Engineers to work on our range of successful eCommerce sites and help sustain our trajectory of rapid growth. Our stack is Java-based and runs in AWS, migrating towards Docker/K8s and Microservices.
We operate in an Agile way and encourage innovative thinking in everything we do. Every member of our development team has a significant impact on our products. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our systems and architecture to ensure we have a system that is reliable, performant and flexible for future change.
What you'll be doing:
- Design, implement and test new features, experiments, or flows.
- Partner with our product and design teams. Help them explore and prototype new product ideas, clarify requirements, and understand the technical options available for achieving our business objectives and delighting our users.
- Act as a subject matter expert regarding build tools, code, unit tests, and frameworks.
- Maintain and improve the codebase; recognise duplication, apply SOLID principles, and pragmatically address technical debt as the opportunity or need arises.

- Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related subject.
- Knowledge of Java and the JVM ecosystem with tools such as Spring MVC/Boot and JPA.
- An understanding of how to design and architect backend systems.
