Senior Software Engineer

Own complex software delivery and modernise a live estate without defaulting to a rewrite.

Money Plus is modernising its engineering estate while continuing to deliver high-value product and platform work. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own complex features end to end, write production code, surface risk early and help other engineers get stronger through thoughtful review and pairing.

• Turn requirements into clear implementation plans and take complex work through design, build, test and production.
• Contribute production code most days and break large or ambiguous work into smaller, lower-risk increments.
• Improve legacy PHP and Laravel code incrementally in a live system, balancing delivery, risk and maintainability.
• Use code review and pairing to improve both the code and the capability of other engineers.
• Identify assumptions, dependencies, constraints and non-functional concerns during planning and bring considered trade-offs rather than late surprises.
• Step into urgent or ambiguous technical problems when needed, helping restore progress without becoming the default owner for all work.

• End-to-end feature ownership: Evidence of personally owning a complex feature from requirement through production, including decomposition, decisions, risks and outcome.
• Legacy modernisation: Evidence of improving legacy code in a live system through incremental, well-tested change rather than defaulting to rewrite.
• Review and mentoring: Evidence that code review, pairing or technical feedback improved another engineer’s work or approach.
• Non-functional judgement: Evidence of reasoning about performance, observability, security and resilience trade-offs;
  Money Plus-specific tooling can be learned.
• Transferable evidence is welcome. Regulated-sector experience is useful but not essential where you can demonstrate comparable ownership, modernisation judgement and non-functional engineering depth.
