Purpose of Position
As a Software Engineer, you will be part of a cross-functional, service-oriented team, working on extending and maintaining our Affiliate Marketing platform. You design and build reliable services by writing clean, secure, and well-tested code, following modern engineering best practices.
In this role, you contribute to system efficiency, technical quality, and team effectiveness. You take responsibility for assigned tasks and components, aligning technical solutions with product requirements, and work collaboratively in an agile team.
The Team
You’ll join our Billing & Payments tribe, owning a core domain of the business: how customers are billed and partners get paid. Our engineering culture values pragmatic solutions, automation, strong ownership, and continuous improvement supported by open feedback loops.
We are moving towards a cloud‑first architecture with a strong focus on AWS, working with technologies such as Java/Spring, AWS Lambda, Node.js, Kafka, SQL/NoSQL databases, and more.
Key Tasks
- Work within a small, collaborative team using agile methodologies and practices
- Take responsibility for assigned features or components, contributing to software design, implementation, and operation with guidance from senior or staff engineers
- Identify improvement opportunities and technical risks and raise them with the team
- Translate business requirements into well‑designed technical solutions
- Support an effective agile way of working by helping facilitate team ceremonies and workshops
- Collaborate closely with other engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and day-to-day work
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, ensuring service reliability and operational stability
- Communicate effectively in writing and verbally with local and remote colleagues and stakeholders
Whilst the above outlines the general expectations of the role, we expect this position to evolve over time, offering opportunities to gain deeper knowledge and experience within the online and affiliate marketing domain.
