About the Role

We are looking for experienced Staff & Principal Software Engineers to drive the technical architecture and development of complex, business-critical software systems.

This is a senior hands-on engineering role (individual contributor) suited to someone who can operate at both strategic and technical levels, taking ownership of architecture, implementation and engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop and maintain scalable, highly available and reliable backend systems on AWS.

  • Lead technical projects end-to-end, from requirements gathering and solution design through development, testing, deployment and production support.
  • Remain hands-on in coding, reviewing and improving production systems.
  • Drive improvements in system performance, scalability, reliability and operational efficiency.
  • Establish engineering best practices through architecture reviews, code reviews and technical guidance.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify processes, automate workflows and improve development efficiency.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools (day-to-day) throughout the software development lifecycle to improve productivity and code quality.
  • Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.

Requirements

  • At least 10+ to 15+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Proven experience defining architecture and technical strategy for large-scale, complex software platforms.
  • Strong hands-on backend engineering experience, with the ability to balance strategic leadership and implementation.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud-native architecture and AWS.
  • Experience with containerisation, messaging systems, caching, databases, search technologies, observability and system reliability.
  • Hands-on experience with technologies such as Kubernetes/ECS, MySQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: Java, Go, Python, JavaScript or TypeScript. Node.js experience is an advantage.
  • Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, technical judgement and ability to work independently.
  • Experience working with geographically distributed engineering teams is preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline. Master's degree is advantageous.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to influence technical architecture and engineering direction.
  • Ownership of complex, high-impact engineering initiatives.
  • Exposure to challenging technical problems and modern technologies.
  • An environment that values technical excellence, accountability, pragmatic decision-making and continuous improvement.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
