About the Role
We are hiring two Senior Web Developers (Full Stack) to help design, build, and operate modern, secure, and scalable web applications. You will be a hands-on engineer working closely with the Lead, Product, UX, QA, and DevOps/SRE to deliver customer-facing and internal platforms with high standards for performance, reliability, accessibility, and maintainability.
Key Responsibilities
• Deliver end-to-end features across the stack using Java (Spring Boot) and/or Python (Django/DRF) on the backend and React/Next.js with TypeScript on the frontend.
• Design and implement well-structured, well-tested backend services, including business logic, integrations, data access layers, and API endpoints.
• Build responsive, accessible UI components and pages; apply modern UI patterns, state management (e.g., Redux), and performance best practices.
• Design and consume RESTful APIs with strong contracts (versioning, backward compatibility, error handling) and clear documentation.
• Write automated tests (unit/integration and UI where applicable) and contribute to quality gates in CI/CD to prevent regressions.
• Troubleshoot production issues using logs/metrics/traces; participate in on-call or support rotations as needed, and contribute to runbooks and operational readiness.
• Apply secure coding practices: input validation, authN/authZ checks, dependency hygiene, secrets management, and proactive vulnerability remediation.
• Contribute to engineering excellence: code reviews, refactoring, reducing technical debt, improving developer experience, and sharing reusable components/patterns.
• Work collaboratively with Product/UX to clarify requirements, estimate work, manage trade-offs, and deliver iteratively.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing, reviews, and knowledge sharing; promote team standards and best practices.
Required Skills & Technical Proficiency
Backend & APIs
• Strong hands-on experience in Java + Spring Boot (preferred) and/or Python + Django/DRF.
• Strong knowledge of REST API design, authentication/authorisation patterns, and integration with external services.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases; ability to design schemas and optimise queries.
• Familiarity with caching strategies and performance tuning (application and database layers).
Frontend
• Strong experience building web UIs with React and/or Next.js; strong JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Proficiency in HTML/CSS, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Experience with state management (e.g., Redux) and component-driven development.
• Hands-on accessibility experience (semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation) aligned to WCAG 2.1.
DevOps / Cloud / Engineering Practices
• Strong Git usage, branching strategies, and disciplined peer-review practices.
• Experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins) and automated testing in pipelines.
• Working knowledge of containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Hands-on exposure to Azure and/or AWS fundamentals (deployments, configuration, monitoring).
• Familiarity with observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and production support practices.
Gen-AI / AI-Assisted Engineering (Preferred)
• Use AI-assisted tooling responsibly to accelerate delivery (scaffolding, refactoring) with strong human review and engineering judgment.
• Leverage AI to improve test coverage and identify edge cases, while maintaining code quality and security standards.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial web application delivery ownership.
• Proven track record shipping features in a team environment (Agile/Scrum/Kanban) with strong collaboration and communication.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with microservices, API governance/versioning strategies, and distributed system fundamentals.
• Experience with security best practices (OWASP Top 10), SAST/DAST concepts, and vulnerability management workflows.
• Experience improving performance (profiling, caching, query tuning, frontend rendering optimisation).
• Exposure to payments/financial services or other regulated domains is a plus.
What Success Looks Like
• You deliver features predictably with high quality, including tests, documentation, and operational readiness.
• You proactively identify and fix reliability/performance issues and reduce tech debt without compromising delivery.
• You raise the bar for secure coding, accessibility, and maintainable design through reviews and strong engineering habits.
• You collaborate effectively across functions and help the team move faster through mentorship and knowledge sharing.
