Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate backend services, APIs, data models, and asynchronous workflows.
• Own reliability through tests, observability, alerts, migrations, safe rollouts, rollback plans, and incident follow-through.
• Debug production behaviour across client, network, services, cache/queues, and data using evidence.
• Make pragmatic architecture decisions for current scale while preserving a credible path to growth.
• Protect sensitive couple data through appropriate authentication, authorisation, validation, and operational practices.
• Partner with product/design on scope, UX implications, success metrics, and rollout.
• Make scoped Flutter or web changes when needed to complete a feature or investigate an issue.
• Review code and technical proposals and help junior engineers improve their judgment and self-review.
• Use AI tools to accelerate delivery without outsourcing understanding, security, or accountability.

Requirements:

• Approximately 3-4 years building and operating production software.
• Deep experience in at least one backend language and framework.
• Strong fundamentals in API design, relational data modelling, concurrency, idempotency, caching/queues, and failure handling.
• Evidence of personally owning production incidents, difficult bugs, migrations, or reliability improvements.
• Ability to write maintainable code, meaningful tests, and useful logs/metrics.
• Product judgment connecting technical choices to UX, activation, retention, delivery speed, or cost.
• Enough app/web experience to read, debug, and make scoped changes outside the backend.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including constructive technical pushback.
