About this role:

We're replacing an outsourced loan origination and risk assessment platform with something we've built ourselves – fully in-house, purpose-built, and integrated across our credit domain. It's a heavily connected ecosystem, and it moves fast. You won't be maintaining someone else's code. You'll be writing new systems that make real credit decisions for real people.

We need someone who is genuinely full-stack with at least 5 years' experience. Your experience must speak to both front and back end.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain full-stack applications using C# (.NET) and Vue.js
• Design and implement cloud solutions on AWS
• Automate infrastructure and deployments using Terraform, GitOps and CI/CD pipelines
• Own features end to end – from technical design through release and production support
• Make sure production systems are scalable, reliable, secure and observable
• Work closely with DevOps, QA, Product and Architecture
• Take part in on-call rotations, incident resolution and root cause analysis
• Mentor engineers, lead code reviews and shape engineering standards

What you need

Must-have

• At least 5 years' experience delivering production systems
• C# (.NET 8/9/10)
• Vue.js (Vue 3, Composition API, Pinia), TypeScript, HTML, CSS, Vite
• Micro frontends and Module Federation
• Microservices, REST/gRPC APIs and event-driven design
• AWS (IAM, EKS, RDS, MSK/Kafka, Lambda, ElastiCache, S3)
• Terraform – modules, state management and environment provisioning
• Docker and Kubernetes
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
• Relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL), schema design and query optimisation
• Observability tools (Instana, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Testing across unit, integration and end to end (xUnit, Vitest, Cypress or Playwright)
• Secure coding (OWASP Top 10) and data protection principles

Good to have

• Java, Python (FastAPI) or Golang
• Kafka ecosystem – Kafka Streams, schema registries, outbox pattern
• AWS cost optimisation

What we're looking for in you

• You take ownership and solve problems without being told twice
• You communicate clearly – to developers and non-technical stakeholders alike
• You make sound calls on the trade-offs between speed, quality and technical debt
• You're comfortable in a fast-moving, multi-language environment

Education (Minimum)

• Grade 12 National Certificate / Vocational

Education (Ideal or Preferred)

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Information Technology

Skills

• Analytical Skills
• Attention to Detail
• Communications Skills
• Interpersonal & Relationship management Skills
• Problem solving skills
