We're looking for engineers who are passionate about designing scalable platforms and love solving real-world problems with technology. As part of our Platform Engineering team, you’ll be at the intersection of Product and Risk – crafting systems that allow internal teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Take ownership of critical multiplier-type projects that significantly enhance our codebase management and automation capabilities.
• Collaborate closely with platform and product teams, engineers, leads, and product managers to deliver impactful tooling solutions.
• Prototype solutions quickly and efficiently, adopting a "quick and dirty" approach initially, and refine them into robust, scalable tools once the optimal approach is identified.
• Work alongside other engineers in the team, fostering a collaborative culture.
• Provide feedback on technical design decisions and approach, and help the team make data-driven decisions.

We understand that candidates may not meet all criteria and we support ongoing learning and development. If you possess some of the skills listed and are keen to learn more, we want to hear from you!

Qualifications:

• Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and address complex challenges in codebase management.
• Effective Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Project Management: As a senior engineer, you would own some of those projects. We are looking for a demonstrated ability to manage and execute large-scale projects, across numerous services.
• Adaptability and Growth: The technical landscape is moving especially fast in this area, so a willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies and languages as our tooling needs evolve is essential.
