Your career opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our DHP team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of platform engineering and developer experience. You will become the crucial link between infrastructure and development - understanding pain points, designing elegant solutions, and shipping tools that make other engineers faster and happier.

What you’ll do

• Partner with Product Owners to deeply understand requirements and break them down into focused, deliverable items.
• Design and build robust, scalable microservices with high observability and supportability, following DevOps and Agile principles.
• Own your deliverables end-to-end - from design through deployment - and hit agreed timelines.
• Provide rapid, effective production support; perform root cause analysis on incidents and drive long-term fixes that stick.
• Act as a trusted technical consultant for platform users, resolving queries and unblocking teams with speed and clarity.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional IT teams and coordinate stakeholder activities to keep the platform evolving.
• Proactively manage technical debt and keep security and vulnerability posture sharp.
• As a Senior Software engineer, you take end to end ownership of software delivery to production, are on top of managing any technical debt, support and mentor junior members of the start. You are a self-starter and can initiate ideas and productionize them.

What you need to have to succeed in this role

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership or technical lead role focused on DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE.
• Solid understanding of how the internet and HTTP work under the hood - DNS, TLS, load balancing, reverse proxies, service meshes, and API gateways - and how these come together in modern microservice architectures.
• Strong programming ability (structured and OOP) in one or more of: Java, JavaScript, Python, or Clojure.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana and InfluxDB; familiarity with time-series databases and data visualisation concepts.
• Proven experience in managing critical production incidents and proactive mindset - you spot problems, performance bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities before they become urgent.
• Strong knowledge of Linux/Unix systems and networking fundamentals - nice to have
• Hands-on experience with KVM/VMware virtualisation - nice to have
