This role is best suited to a strong backend-focused software engineer who is technically curious, adaptable, and comfortable working across different domains, stakeholders, and problem spaces.

You will join a central Digital Solutions team that contribute to multiple projects rather than a single product. The focus is on building proof-of-concepts, prototypes, and scalable cloud-native solutions that demonstrate value and accelerate adoption across the wider group.

You will work closely with architects, engineers, and business stakeholders, often presenting solutions, running demos, and translating complex technical ideas into clear, practical outcomes.

Communication skills are as important as technical capability in this role.

• Design and build backend-focused, cloud-native solutions using modern engineering practices
• Develop proof-of-concepts (POCs), prototypes, and demonstrators to validate ideas and support business decision-making
• Work across multiple projects and operating companies, engaging with a wide range of technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Contribute to solutions built primarily on Microsoft Azure, using services such as App Services, Functions, APIs, and related tooling
• Apply strong software engineering fundamentals, including clean code, testing, and maintainable architecture
• Champion Dev Ops and CI/CD best practices, including automated testing and deployment pipelines
• Collaborate with architects and senior engineers to develop reusable assets, patterns, and reference implementations

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong backend engineering background with C# and/or Python
• Hands‑on experience building solutions on Microsoft Azure (this is essential)
• Experience working across different languages, frameworks, or technology stacks
• Familiarity with modern engineering practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control, and testing frameworks
• Experience working with APIs, microservices, or event‑driven architectures
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with internal clients and stakeholders
• Exposure to Dev Ops tooling and cloud‑native delivery models
• Experience working on POCs, innovation projects, or early‑stage product development
• Familiarity with emerging technologies such as AI, data platforms, or edge computing

• A technically strong backend engineer who is also a broad technologist
• Comfortable moving between projects and learning new domains quickly
• Confident engaging with stakeholders, running demos, and explaining technical solutions clearly
• Curious, adaptable, and motivated by variety rather than a single long‑term product

If you are a backend engineer who enjoys variety, working with modern cloud technologies, and collaborating directly with stakeholders to bring ideas to life, apply today.
