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 (TypeScript / C#) 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# 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
