Our multidisciplinary teams specialise in tech strategy and business innovation, digital solutions and applications, and device and systems engineering. We excel in complex, regulated spaces including health and finance, connecting strategy, tech implementation, and operational services to help clients become more effective, resilient businesses.
If you share our values and want to do the best work, for the right reasons, we can offer you the chance to do it on a global scale and play a real role in shaping our exciting journey.
As a Senior Full stack Developer, you will be a hands-on member of a high-performing engineering squad, building and operating business-critical digital services.
This is a backend-led full-stack role. You will use Kotlin or modern Java, ideally Java 17 or later, together with the wider JVM ecosystem, to develop reliable services and APIs. You will also contribute to modern web interfaces using technologies such as React and TypeScript.
You will work in an increasingly AI-augmented engineering environment. We are looking for people who are curious about AI-augmented engineering and willing to experiment with tools that improve software delivery. You will not be expected to use AI tools every day, but you should be open to applying them where they provide clear value, while validating outputs for correctness, security and maintainability.
Working closely with product managers, designers, engineers, and architects, you will turn product requirements into well-structured, maintainable, production-ready solutions. You will contribute throughout the delivery lifecycle—from technical discovery and implementation through to deployment, production support and continuous improvement.
You will take ownership of significant features and services, contribute to technical decisions, support other engineers and help maintain high standards of engineering quality.
How you will make an impact
Experiment with AI-assisted engineering tools where they provide clear value, such as exploring solutions, improving tests, documenting systems or investigating issues.
Validate AI-assisted outputs for correctness, security, maintainability, and suitability before using them.
You will work as part of a cross-functional engineering squad alongside product, design and delivery colleagues. The role is expected to remain substantially hands-on, with opportunities to influence technical direction and support the development of other engineers.
The role may include working on-site with clients, collaborating directly with client stakeholders and delivery teams to understand their needs, shape technical solutions and support successful delivery. This may involve occasional travel or agreed on-site working, depending on the project and client requirements.
