Software Engineer (Digital) NEW Posted yesterday 45000 - 60000 ​/ year

Warner Hotels is rebuilding its guest-facing digital estate on a modern, microservices architecture — moving away from a fragmented collection of out-of-the-box portals toward a purpose-built digital platform that delivers personalised, seamless guest experiences across discovery, booking, pre-stay, and in-stay touchpoints.

The Software Engineer (Digital) is a hands‑on software engineer who builds the digital products that guests and staff experience every day — including , the MyWarner guest portal, the Club Warner loyalty platform, and the AI concierge booking assistant. The architecture is built on a React/Next.js front‑end, with a back‑end of independently deployable .NET 8 / ASP.NET Core microservices hosted on AWS — a mix of serverless (Lambda) and containerised (ECS/Fargate) deployments depending on service characteristics.

You will be embedded in sprint teams alongside the Digital Tech Lead, internal colleagues, and the nearshore engineering partner (Frontline) — writing production-quality code, participating in architecture discussions, and taking genuine engineering ownership of the features and services you deliver. This is a role for an engineer who cares about the craft: clean code, well‑designed APIs, comprehensive tests, and digital experiences that actually work beautifully for guests

Key Responsibilities include:

• Build and maintain features across Warner's guest‑facing digital products using React and Next.js — implementing server‑side rendering, static generation, and client‑side interactions to the agreed architecture patterns.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of  — search experience, IBE booking funnel, conversion optimisation, and promotional campaign delivery — in partnership with the commercial and marketing teams.
• Build and maintain the MyWarner guest portal — delivering logged‑in guest journeys including pre‑stay upsell, activity booking, and in‑stay engagement features.
• Contribute to Club Warner loyalty platform features — enrolment flows, member personalisation, and loyalty mechanics — consuming APIs from back‑end services.

• Design and build .NET 8 / ASP.NET Core microservices that form the back‑end of Warner's digital platform — implementing REST APIs, domain logic, and integration with Warner's core systems (iStay, Maestro, Bloomreach, Optimizely, Amazon Connect).
• Deploy and operate microservices on AWS using a mix of Lambda (for event‑driven and short‑lived compute) and ECS/Fargate (for longer‑running, containerised services) — selecting the appropriate hosting model for each service's requirements.
• Implement event‑driven communication between services using AWS SQS, SNS, and Event Bridge — ensuring loose coupling and resilience across the microservices estate.
• Contribute to integrations with the Whats App Business API via Amazon Connect for inbound customer engagement.

• Design RESTful APIs to agreed standards — implementing OpenAPI specifications, versioning, and API documentation for all services you build.
• Work with the Integration Architect to ensure services are built to Warner's API governance standards and registered in the API catalogue.
• Consume and integrate third‑party APIs from Optimizely, Bloomreach, iStay, and Maestro — implementing appropriate error handling, retry logic, and circuit breakers.

• Write unit tests, integration tests, and end‑to‑end tests for all features and services — maintaining test coverage to agreed standards
• Commit code through CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions) — following branching strategy, automated build, test, lint, and deployment processes consistently.
• Participate in code reviews — providing constructive feedback to nearshore partners and internal colleagues, and actively responding to feedback on your own code.
• Monitor production services and respond to incidents within your service domain — investigating root cause and implementing permanent fixes.

• Participate fully in sprint ceremonies — sprint planning, stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Work collaboratively nearshore engineering partner — sharing…
