Principal Full Stack Engineer

Overview

We’re an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.

At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.

What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery—we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge. We’re passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step. At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do.

We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly. And, we love to share what we learn—using our expertise to help others grow and empowering organisations to succeed in the long term.

Great engineers come from many different backgrounds and are specialists in many different areas. At Burendo, we’ve got some exciting new projects kicking off, and we’re looking for people who want to contribute across the tech stack and be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle. Many of these upcoming projects are Python-focused, working across a wide variety of applications and offering opportunities to apply your skills across different application types and domains.

These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.

• A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
• A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain
• An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary “gold-plating”
• An understanding that quality is everyone’s responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
• Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
• A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
• A Dev Ops mentality – meaning that you don’t want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
• A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero
• Confidence to act as a technical authority, influencing decisions across teams and stakeholders
• Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical strategy and sustainability

We believe every engineer should have a fundamental understanding of development, infrastructure, and testing and therefore you’ll need at least some of these skills to help you pick the role up quickly. Burendo is invested in the growth of our consultants and provide a healthy self-development budget you can use to grow in the areas mentioned below, or any other of your choosing!

• Fundamental coding experience at least two of the following languages:
  Python, JavaScript, Node.js, C#, Java
• Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure (Or both!)
• Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines such as Git Hub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure Dev Ops
• A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
• Experience working in supporting a live product
• Experience adapting to different tech stacks
• Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
• Experience with database technologies of some flavour
• Experience mentoring, managing and up-skilling engineers
• Experience providing technical leadership across teams or programmes of work
• Experience shaping architectural decisions and guiding engineering best practice
• Ability to engage with senior stakeholders and translate business goals into technical outcomes

And it would be great if you have any of these:

• Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
• Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Git Hub Actions,…
