This role needs someone who can solve issues collectively, contribute constructively in design discussions, and build strong technical partnerships.\nOwnership and accountability - The strongest candidates take responsibility for service quality end to end, from build and test through to production support. They are proactive, dependable, and committed to resolving issues rather than handing them off.\nAdaptability and learning agility - Modernisation programs evolve quickly, especially when integrating with legacy platforms and near-real-time systems. This role requires someone who can absorb new domain knowledge fast, adapt to changing priorities, and remain effective in a fast-moving environment.\nAttention to quality and operational discipline - Building backend services is not just about writing code; it requires a mindset of precision, reliability, and continuous improvement. The individual should care deeply about testing, performance, observability, and building services that are resilient in production.\nAdditional key qualifications for the job\nKubernetes\nMessaging platforms\nEvent streaming\nCloud-native development\nAdditional soft skills\nSystems thinking - In Kubernetes, messaging, and event-streaming environments, issues rarely sit in one component. Engineers need to understand how services, containers, infrastructure, queues, events, and data flows interact so they can anticipate downstream impact, design more resilient solutions, and troubleshoot effectively across the whole system rather than just their own code.\nClear technical communication - Cloud-native and event-driven architectures create more service boundaries, contracts, and operational dependencies. Engineers must communicate clearly with platform teams, other service owners, and product stakeholders to avoid misunderstanding around APIs, event schemas, ownership, deployment changes, and incident response.\nAdaptability and continuous learning - Kubernetes, cloud-native practices, and distributed integration patterns evolve quickly, and real-world implementations often differ from ideal architecture. The role needs someone who can learn fast, absorb new patterns, and adjust to changing tooling, operating models, and migration realities without losing delivery momentum.\nOperational composure and resilience - Distributed systems fail in more complex ways: delayed messages, replay issues, scaling problems, noisy alerts, and intermittent production faults. Engineers need to stay calm under pressure, work methodically through ambiguity, and make sound decisions during incidents to protect service reliability and business continuity.\nAbout S&P Global Market Intelligence\nAt S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global we understand the importance of accurate, deep and insightful information.
