Description

• Delivering from the backlog. Items are raised continuously as the products are used and as new capability is

needed. You take them, size them, build them and see them through to production.

• Building across the stack. Services, data model, integrations and user interface. You own the change from end to

end rather than handing it across a boundary.

• Working with structured and unstructured data. Reading, transforming and validating data from documents,

spreadsheets, exports and APIs, where the input is real and rarely clean.

• Integrating with enterprise platforms. Authenticating, reading and writing to business systems through their APIs,

and handling the realities of rate limits, failures and partial results.

• Applying AI where it earns its place. Large language models are part of how these products work. You will build

with them, measure them, and know when a deterministic approach is the better engineering answer.

• Proving the work. Automated tests, verified behaviour, and a release you can explain. Quality is part of delivery

here, not a separate phase.

• Shaping what gets built. You will have direct input into priorities and approach. Experienced engineers here are

expected to have opinions and argue them.
