We're an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that's efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast. At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things. What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery-we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge. We're passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step. At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do. We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly. And, we love to share what we learn-using our expertise to help others grow and empowering organisations to succeed in the long term. Great engineers come from many different backgrounds and are specialists in many different areas. At Burendo, we've got some exciting new projects kicking off, and we're looking for people who want to contribute across the tech stack and be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle. These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for. A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary "gold-plating" An understanding that quality is everyone's responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect A DevOps mentality - meaning that you don't want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero Confidence to act as a technical authority, influencing decisions across teams and stakeholders Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical strategy and sustainability We believe every engineer should have a fundamental understanding of development, infrastructure, and testing and therefore you'll need at least some of these skills to help you pick the role up quickly. Burendo is invested in the growth of our consultants and provide a healthy self-development budget you can use to grow in the areas mentioned below, or any other of your choosing! The must haves: Fundamental coding experience at least two of the following languages: Python, JavaScript, Node.js, C#, Java Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure (Or both!) Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology Experience working with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies Experience working in supporting a live product Experience adapting to different tech stacks Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git Experience with database technologies of some flavour Experience mentoring, managing and up-skilling engineers Experience providing technical leadership across teams or programmes of work Experience shaping architectural decisions and guiding engineering best practice Ability to engage with senior stakeholders and translate business goals into technical outcomes And it would be great if you have any of these: Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps These are the little bit extra, cherry-on-top skills that will help you stand out. Still give us a shout if you haven't currently got these skills though!

Staff Software Engineer At UnlikelyAI, we are building the future of AI: one that is reliable, accurate, and transparent. Our neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with Universal Language - our proprietary symbolic technology that bridges the gap between probabilistic machine learning and deterministic classical computing. Our products are already in use with major enterprises - including tier-1 banks and leading accountancy firms - across audit, compliance, and financial services. In compliance, we combine symbolic decision trees with LLM-powered evidence extraction to catch errors in financial reporting that human reviewers miss. In financial services, we use neurosymbolic guardrails to deliver accurate and explainable outcomes at scale. We are now building toward a platform - a public API and platform experience that will make our core neurosymbolic capabilities available to a broader set of customers and use cases. This is a pivotal moment: we're transitioning from bespoke customer engagements into a scalable product platform, and we need exceptional engineers to help us get there. The Role We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help shape the technical direction of our platform as we scale. This is a role for someone who combines deep hands on engineering ability with the judgement and influence to drive architecture and engineering quality across teams. You'll be one of our most experienced individual contributors - someone the team looks to for guidance on hard technical decisions, system design, and long term technical strategy. You'll spend most of your time writing code and solving complex problems, but you'll also be expected to identify the highest leverage work across squads, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar for how we build software. Our core capabilities span symbolic reasoning (decision trees, propositional graphs, knowledge graphs), document ingestion pipelines, and the APIs that expose these to customers. You'll work on genuinely novel problems at the intersection of classical symbolic AI and modern LLMs - for example, how to represent regulatory knowledge as machine evaluable rules, or how to build feedback loops that improve system accuracy over time. You'll work within a shared monorepo alongside software engineers, research engineers, and applied scientists in a heavily cross functional environment. We operate in small, focused product teams, supported by shared infrastructure, internal tooling, and an R&D function. What You Might Work On In your first months, you could find yourself working on any of the following: Defining the architecture for our new public API - making foundational decisions about authentication, scalability, versioning, and developer experience that will shape the platform for years. Leading the design and implementation of our document ingestion pipelines to handle new input formats (e.g. PDF, Word) and new regulatory jurisdictions at scale. Designing evaluation frameworks and benchmarks to measure and improve system accuracy - and establishing these as engineering norms across teams. Driving improvements to our deployment architecture for enterprise customers with specific cloud and security requirements. Owning the technical strategy for internal tooling and developer experience across the monorepo - identifying bottlenecks and leading initiatives to address them. Working on the symbolic reasoning engine that powers our products - including decision tree evaluation, rule generation, and knowledge graph construction. Identifying and leading cross cutting technical initiatives that improve reliability, performance, or engineering velocity across the organisation. You'll be successful here if you have deep expertise in Python, including writing well typed, well tested code in a collaborative codebase, and strong opinions on how to structure Python projects at scale. you have a proven track record in system design and architecture - you've made foundational technical decisions that shaped the trajectory of a product or platform. you've tackled complex algorithms and data structures and have experience working with non trivial algorithmic problems at scale. you care deeply about production quality engineering - you don't just advocate for software quality, you actively set the standards and build the culture around it. you have a track record of technical leadership - you've influenced technical direction across multiple teams or projects without necessarily having direct reports. you have significant experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) - services such as S3, ECR, ECS/EKS, and infrastructure managed via Terraform or similar - and can make informed architectural decisions about deployment and scalability. you have a bias for action - you move quickly, make informed decisions, and iterate without waiting for perfect information. you have a relevant degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or STEM - or equivalent practical experience. Other skills You don't need to tick every box below, but any of the following would strengthen your application: Monorepo experience - comfortable working in and improving a large, shared codebase with multiple product teams contributing. CI/CD pipelines - hands on experience with GitHub Actions or similar, ideally including designing and optimising CI infrastructure. Experience with document processing pipelines - PDF parsing, OCR, structured data extraction. Familiarity with knowledge representation - decision trees, knowledge graphs, ontologies, or symbolic reasoning systems. Experience with LLM integration in production systems - prompt engineering, evaluation, working with APIs such as Gemini, Claude, or OpenAI. Frontend experience with React and TypeScript - we value engineers who can contribute across the stack when needed. Experience in regulated industries - fintech, audit, compliance, insurance, or banking. Familiarity with the modern Python tooling ecosystem: uv for package management, ruff for linting, pyright or similar type checkers. Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog. Experience mentoring engineers and helping teams grow their technical capabilities. How We Work We're a team of around 30 people based primarily in the UK. We operate a hybrid working policy, with three days a week in our Central London office. Engineering is organised into product focused squads, supported by shared infrastructure and an R&D function. We work in a monorepo, deploy to AWS, and care deeply about developer experience - we're actively investing in modernising our tooling, CI, and repository structure. We run hackathons, we have strong opinions about code quality (held loosely), and we ship often. Our culture is collaborative and low ego: engineers regularly move between teams, pair on hard problems, and contribute ideas regardless of seniority. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves.

We are looking for the right people - people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry. Job Duties About Landmark Landmark, a Halliburton company, builds the software and data platforms that help the global energy industry make better decisions. Our products span subsurface interpretation, well construction planning, reservoir simulation, production optimization, and digital operations. These are tools used daily by engineers and scientists at the world's largest energy companies and run as cloud-native SaaS platforms and as enterprise on-premises solutions. About the Role You own the full development cycle for the features and systems your team assigns you. At Landmark, that means working on software that oil and gas operators depend on for high-stakes decisions. You take a feature from specification through design, implementation, testing, and delivery with minimal supervision and enough judgment to make good technical decisions along the way. You contribute to code reviews, improve the codebase and processes around you without waiting to be asked, and help junior engineers grow. The quality of what you build shows up in production software used by operators worldwide. Strong software engineering fundamentals are the primary requirement. Domain knowledge is valuable but can develop on the job. Positions are available across a range of teams. Team assignment determines both the product domain you work in and the major technologies you use. Teams build software for domains such as: Geoscience - geology, geophysics, or petrophysics Drilling engineering and well planning Reservoir engineering and modeling Production engineering and optimization E&P data management and integration Cloud and platform infrastructure, data services, and developer tooling AI-assisted analytics, search, and generative AI Technologies used vary by team and include: Languages such as Java, C#, F#, C++, Python, and TypeScript Frameworks, platforms, and runtimes such as .NET, Eclipse RCP/SWT, JUnit, Angular, React, and Node.js Cloud platforms including Azure and AWS Containerization and orchestration tooling such as Docker and Kubernetes Infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD/Flux Relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB What You Will Do Own features end to end: analyze requirements, design solutions, write the code, test it, and ship it Break complex specifications into concrete tasks with realistic schedules and flag risks early Proactively identify and fix weaknesses in the codebase, the test coverage, and the development process Investigate and resolve production defects, and trace root cause when symptom and source are not in the same place Apply secure coding practices, surface vulnerabilities in code reviews, and fix security issues as they arise Review code from other engineers with the same rigor you expect on your own work Evaluate and integrate open-source tools and libraries where they improve the systems you work on Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and direct technical guidance Communicate clearly across a distributed, cross-timezone team Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience 5-10 years of software development experience Strong proficiency in at least one of: Java, C#/F# (.NET), C++, Python, or TypeScript (React/Angular/Node.js) Experience owning the full development cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and delivery Experience debugging production software and tracing root causes that span multiple components or layers Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to teammates and stakeholders Preferred Experience with cloud-native development, full-stack or web application development, or data platform technologies Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure automation Background in enterprise software, SaaS platforms, or technically demanding application domains (scientific computing, real-time systems, large-scale data) Exposure to integrating machine learning, generative AI, or LLM-based components into application features Experience mentoring less experienced engineers Energy industry experience is not required but is a strong plus. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every item in the preferred list. How You Work The engineer who succeeds in this role brings independent judgment to their work and applies it consistently. You own your assignments end to end, communicate clearly when something is off track, and treat code reviews as a genuine quality tool rather than a formality. You are comfortable working across time zones, adaptable when requirements shift, and focused on delivery outcomes rather than task completion. You pick up new tools and techniques on your own, evaluate them critically, and bring the ones that work to your team. You help the engineers around you improve because you understand that team quality compounds over time. Why Landmark We build small, high-ownership teams and invest in the quality of every person on them.

We are looking for the right people - people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry. Job Duties About Landmark Landmark, a Halliburton company, builds the software and data platforms that help the global energy industry make better decisions. Our products span subsurface interpretation, well construction planning, reservoir simulation, production optimization, and digital operations. These are tools used daily by engineers and scientists at the world's largest energy companies and run as cloud-native SaaS platforms and as enterprise on-premises solutions. About the Role You own the full development cycle for the features and systems your team assigns you. At Landmark, that means working on software that oil and gas operators depend on for high-stakes decisions. You take a feature from specification through design, implementation, testing, and delivery with minimal supervision and enough judgment to make good technical decisions along the way. You contribute to code reviews, improve the codebase and processes around you without waiting to be asked, and help junior engineers grow. The quality of what you build shows up in production software used by operators worldwide. Strong software engineering fundamentals are the primary requirement. Domain knowledge is valuable but can develop on the job. Positions are available across a range of teams. Team assignment determines both the product domain you work in and the major technologies you use. Teams build software for domains such as: Geoscience - geology, geophysics, or petrophysics Drilling engineering and well planning Reservoir engineering and modeling Production engineering and optimization E&P data management and integration Cloud and platform infrastructure, data services, and developer tooling AI-assisted analytics, search, and generative AI Technologies used vary by team and include: Languages such as Java, C#, F#, C++, Python, and TypeScript Frameworks, platforms, and runtimes such as .NET, Eclipse RCP/SWT, JUnit, Angular, React, and Node.js Cloud platforms including Azure and AWS Containerization and orchestration tooling such as Docker and Kubernetes Infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD/Flux Relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB What You Will Do Own features end to end: analyze requirements, design solutions, write the code, test it, and ship it Break complex specifications into concrete tasks with realistic schedules and flag risks early Proactively identify and fix weaknesses in the codebase, the test coverage, and the development process Investigate and resolve production defects, and trace root cause when symptom and source are not in the same place Apply secure coding practices, surface vulnerabilities in code reviews, and fix security issues as they arise Review code from other engineers with the same rigor you expect on your own work Evaluate and integrate open-source tools and libraries where they improve the systems you work on Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and direct technical guidance Communicate clearly across a distributed, cross-timezone team Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience 5-10 years of software development experience Strong proficiency in at least one of: Java, C#/F# (.NET), C++, Python, or TypeScript (React/Angular/Node.js) Experience owning the full development cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and delivery Experience debugging production software and tracing root causes that span multiple components or layers Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to teammates and stakeholders Preferred Experience with cloud-native development, full-stack or web application development, or data platform technologies Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure automation Background in enterprise software, SaaS platforms, or technically demanding application domains (scientific computing, real-time systems, large-scale data) Exposure to integrating machine learning, generative AI, or LLM-based components into application features Experience mentoring less experienced engineers Energy industry experience is not required but is a strong plus. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every item in the preferred list. How You Work The engineer who succeeds in this role brings independent judgment to their work and applies it consistently. You own your assignments end to end, communicate clearly when something is off track, and treat code reviews as a genuine quality tool rather than a formality. You are comfortable working across time zones, adaptable when requirements shift, and focused on delivery outcomes rather than task completion. You pick up new tools and techniques on your own, evaluate them critically, and bring the ones that work to your team. You help the engineers around you improve because you understand that team quality compounds over time. Why Landmark We build small, high-ownership teams and invest in the quality of every person on them. You will work in a business where software is the product, the work you do matters, and the standards are high. You will own real work that ships, learn from engineers who push you, and grow into the kind of engineer the team relies on. Halliburton is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Senior Cloud Platform EngineerApplylocations: Cannon Street, Londontime type: Full timeposted on: Posted 24 Days Agojob requisition id: R\_17210 Job Title Senior Cloud Platform Engineer Job Description About IG GroupIG Group (LSEG: IGG) is a leading global fintech company, established in 1974 and headquartered in London. As an innovative member of the FTSE 100, IG Group provides dynamic online trading platforms and a robust educational ecosystem, empowering ambitious individuals worldwide in their pursuit of financial freedom. With operations spanning eighteen countries across Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America, IG Group offers clients access to approximately 19,000 financial markets, including shares, forex, indices, commodities and crypto.IG is at a pivotal moment. We are moving with real pace and ambition rethinking how we serve clients, how we operate, and how we use technology to do both better. For people who want to be part of building something, rather than maintaining it, this is an unusually good time to join. Your Team You'll be joining a small, close-knit Data platform engineering team of three to five engineers. We're a team that takes quality seriously, looks out for each other, and gets things done without a lot of ceremony. Everyone brings something different across cloud infrastructure, data platform, and developer tooling and we rely on that range to solve problems well.We work across time zones with colleagues in Bengaluru and Kraków, so clear communication and good async habits matter. You won't be siloed into a narrow lane in a team of this size, everyone gets exposure to the breadth of what we do, and everyone's opinion on how we do it counts. Your role in the Team's Success In a small team, a senior hire has an outsized impact - and this role is no different. Here's what success looks like: You raise the floor. Your experience with GCP and AWS means the team spends less time firefighting and more time building. You bring rigour to how we design and review infrastructure, and your instinct for security and reliability makes the whole platform better. You unblock people. Data engineers, ML engineers, and Data teams depend on the platform to move fast. You're the person who understands what they need, builds the right foundations, and makes sure the platform is something people trust rather than work around. You make the IDP real. An IDP is only useful if it's kept alive and relevant. You'll be one of the people who makes sure it reflects reality - that services are catalogued, templates are current, and engineers across the business can actually find what they're looking for. You help the team get smarter. Whether it's sharing a better way to use AI tooling, writing a clearer runbook, or spotting a pattern we've been missing - you make the people around you better at their jobs. You own your outcomes. This isn't a team with heavy process or close supervision. You'll be trusted to take work end-to-end, flag when something's wrong, and drive improvements without being asked twice. You speak the business's language. The platform only matters if it delivers something the business can use. You'll spend real time with stakeholders across finance, compliance, BI and data science, understanding what they're trying to achieve, framing the trade-offs in language they can act on, and translating that back into platform decisions.The best person in this role won't just be technically strong - they'll care about the team's success as much as their own, and they'll leave the platform in a better state than they found it. What you'll do Responsibilities .

Senior Cloud Platform EngineerApplylocations: Cannon Street, Londontime type: Full timeposted on: Posted 24 Days Agojob requisition id: R\_17210 Job Title Senior Cloud Platform Engineer Job Description About IG GroupIG Group (LSEG: IGG) is a leading global fintech company, established in 1974 and headquartered in London. As an innovative member of the FTSE 100, IG Group provides dynamic online trading platforms and a robust educational ecosystem, empowering ambitious individuals worldwide in their pursuit of financial freedom. With operations spanning eighteen countries across Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America, IG Group offers clients access to approximately 19,000 financial markets, including shares, forex, indices, commodities and crypto.IG is at a pivotal moment. We are moving with real pace and ambition rethinking how we serve clients, how we operate, and how we use technology to do both better. For people who want to be part of building something, rather than maintaining it, this is an unusually good time to join. Your Team You'll be joining a small, close-knit Data platform engineering team of three to five engineers. We're a team that takes quality seriously, looks out for each other, and gets things done without a lot of ceremony. Everyone brings something different across cloud infrastructure, data platform, and developer tooling and we rely on that range to solve problems well.We work across time zones with colleagues in Bengaluru and Kraków, so clear communication and good async habits matter. You won't be siloed into a narrow lane in a team of this size, everyone gets exposure to the breadth of what we do, and everyone's opinion on how we do it counts. Your role in the Team's Success In a small team, a senior hire has an outsized impact - and this role is no different. Here's what success looks like: You raise the floor. Your experience with GCP and AWS means the team spends less time firefighting and more time building. You bring rigour to how we design and review infrastructure, and your instinct for security and reliability makes the whole platform better. You unblock people. Data engineers, ML engineers, and Data teams depend on the platform to move fast. You're the person who understands what they need, builds the right foundations, and makes sure the platform is something people trust rather than work around. You make the IDP real. An IDP is only useful if it's kept alive and relevant. You'll be one of the people who makes sure it reflects reality - that services are catalogued, templates are current, and engineers across the business can actually find what they're looking for. You help the team get smarter. Whether it's sharing a better way to use AI tooling, writing a clearer runbook, or spotting a pattern we've been missing - you make the people around you better at their jobs. You own your outcomes. This isn't a team with heavy process or close supervision. You'll be trusted to take work end-to-end, flag when something's wrong, and drive improvements without being asked twice. You speak the business's language. The platform only matters if it delivers something the business can use. You'll spend real time with stakeholders across finance, compliance, BI and data science, understanding what they're trying to achieve, framing the trade-offs in language they can act on, and translating that back into platform decisions.The best person in this role won't just be technically strong - they'll care about the team's success as much as their own, and they'll leave the platform in a better state than they found it.

Haywards Heath, Sussex
Multiple locations Hybrid Are you an engineer who has shipped distributed backend systems at scale, knows what breaks in production, and fixes it before it does? Do you want your work to have a direct impact on the wellbeing of millions of people across Europe? If yes - read on. The company is one of Europe's fastest-growing companies (Financial Times, multiple years running). We're a leading provider of employee benefit solutions, operating across Finland, Germany, Italy, UK, France, the Nordics and beyond. We started in Helsinki in 2007, launched Europe's first mobile employee benefit payment in 2008, and haven't stopped building since. Your mission at the company You will join a cross-functional product team building and evolving a modern, distributed platform that powers the company's product vision across European markets. We are adding this role to strengthen our backend engineering capabilities and establish a solid, scalable foundation for Java Spring Boot services built for long-term growth - not just the next sprint. Your responsibilities will be: Design, build, and maintain high-quality Java Spring Boot microservices within our domain bounded context architecture. Implement event-driven patterns for cross-domain communication and eventual consistency - you understand why, not just how. Work with PostgreSQL as primary data store: schema design, multi-tenancy, data isolation, query optimization under real load. Implement RESTful APIs with proper versioning, rate limiting, and API gateway integration. Ensure high standards for code quality, testing (unit, integration, contract), performance, and security - >80% coverage is the floor, not the ceiling. Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend (React Native), DevOps, and backend teams across multiple European markets. Participate in architectural discussions and design reviews; contribute to platform-wide standards and decision records (ADRs). You'll be successful in this role if you: Deliver production-ready, scalable microservices that meet target architecture specs - and own them after go-live. Define clear domain boundaries that prevent cross-domain coupling while enabling integration through well-designed APIs and events. Maintain >80% test coverage and contribute ADRs that shape platform decisions - not just for your services, but for the team. Proactively identify and reduce technical debt before it becomes someone else's emergency. Communicate clearly, work effectively across teams and time zones, and make cross-functional collaborators want to pull you into early conversations. Operate with a 'you build it, you run it' mindset - and genuinely believe that's the right way to work. What you'll be doing (daily): 15-minute stand-up with your cross-functional domain team - align, unblock, move. Design and implement features in your domain using Java Spring Boot, with clean, testable code as the default. Write comprehensive unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews that raise the team's standard. Monitor service health, investigate data consistency issues, and resolve production problems with distributed tracing and structured logging. Collaborate with frontend engineers to clarify API contracts and coordinate releases. Participate in architectural discussions and design reviews for new or cross-cutting capabilities. Deploy to staging and production via CI/CD (GitHub Actions), using feature flags for controlled rollouts. What you should bring: Non-negotiable: 6+ years of professional software development, with 3+ years focused on Java backend - in production, at scale, with real failure modes you had to resolve. Deep expertise in Java 17+ and Spring Boot (Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Spring Cloud). Microservices architecture: you've designed service boundaries, not just worked inside them. Domain-Driven Design: bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, anti-corruption layers - you can apply this, not just describe it. PostgreSQL: schema design, indexing, query optimization, and transaction management under load. Event-driven architecture with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SNS/SQS - at scale, in production. RESTful API design: versioning, OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, rate limiting - contracts you'd stand behind in a design review. Testing discipline: JUnit, Mockito, integration and contract testing (Pact). Docker and Kubernetes: deployment strategies, service mesh - operational experience, not just familiarity. CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI. Observability: structured logging, distributed tracing (Jaeger/Zipkin), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog). Active experimentation with AI/LLM tooling applied to real engineering problems - automated workflows, reduced manual ops, smarter exception handling. Not a side project: something in production that you can talk about with specific. Mentoring: you've made other engineers meaningfully better, not just shipped more code. Language profile: Fluent in English Track record: You've delivered and operated microservices in production - from design through deployment, on-call, and post-mortem. You've made measurable improvements to performance, reliability, or scalability (reduced latency by X%, improved uptime to Y, scaled from Z to ZZ req/s). You've collaborated effectively in cross-functional teams and left documentation behind that others actually used. You've contributed to technical decision-making: architecture reviews, design documents, or ADRs that had real consequences. You've led knowledge-sharing sessions or mentored engineers who are better for it. Competency profile: Systems Thinking: You understand how components interact in distributed systems. You design for failure scenarios, not just the happy path. Ownership & Accountability: You take end-to-end responsibility. When something is broken or missing, you raise it and fix it - you don't wait for the ticket. Pragmatic Problem-Solving: You balance ideal solutions with practical constraints. You know when to move the architecture forward and when to ship. Collaboration & Influence: You shape technical decisions through quality of argument, not seniority. You can disagree and commit - and you know when to do which. AI-Readiness: You think about AI strategically, not just tactically. You've embedded AI-driven automation into production systems, can evaluate where it adds real leverage versus where it creates noise, and actively help the team develop this fluency. Continuous Learning: You stay current, experiment, and adapt. You optimize for the codebase 2 years from now, not just the sprint. Quality Mindset: You build maintainable, secure, well-tested services. You document, you mentor, you leave things better than you found them. Why you should join us: Be part of an ambitious growth journey - join a global community of driven, bold, entrepreneurial, yet humble Epassians in a company that is constantly evolving. Work with a clear purpose - boosting everyday wellbeing - and create meaningful, positive impact on individuals and society. Thrive in an open, inclusive culture with low hierarchy, where relationships are built on respect, camaraderie, and shared success. Come as you are - we'll bring out the best in you and support your personal and professional growth. Join a fast-growing tech company with a strong financial foundation, offering real opportunities to make an impact. Work in an environment where employee wellbeing is a genuine priority, not a slide in a deck. Help shape the next wave of success as we consolidate our position as Europe's number one employee benefit platform. Benefits: Hybrid and flexible working style Modern working tools International environment Benefit package for wellbeing support Private health support

Domain-Driven Design: bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, anti-corruption layers - you can apply this, not just describe it. PostgreSQL: schema design, indexing, query optimization, and transaction management under load. Event-driven architecture with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SNS/SQS - at scale, in production. RESTful API design: versioning, OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, rate limiting - contracts you'd stand behind in a design review. Testing discipline: JUnit, Mockito, integration and contract testing (Pact). Docker and Kubernetes: deployment strategies, service mesh - operational experience, not just familiarity. CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI. Observability: structured logging, distributed tracing (Jaeger/Zipkin), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog). Active experimentation with AI/LLM tooling applied to real engineering problems - automated workflows, reduced manual ops, smarter exception handling. Not a side project: something in production that you can talk about with specific. Mentoring: you've made other engineers meaningfully better, not just shipped more code. Language profile: Fluent in English Track record: You've delivered and operated microservices in production - from design through deployment, on-call, and post-mortem. You've made measurable improvements to performance, reliability, or scalability (reduced latency by X%, improved uptime to Y, scaled from Z to ZZ req/s). You've collaborated effectively in cross-functional teams and left documentation behind that others actually used. You've contributed to technical decision-making: architecture reviews, design documents, or ADRs that had real consequences. You've led knowledge-sharing sessions or mentored engineers who are better for it. Competency profile: Systems Thinking: You understand how components interact in distributed systems. You design for failure scenarios, not just the happy path. Ownership & Accountability: You take end-to-end responsibility. When something is broken or missing, you raise it and fix it - you don't wait for the ticket. Pragmatic Problem-Solving: You balance ideal solutions with practical constraints. You know when to move the architecture forward and when to ship. Collaboration & Influence: You shape technical decisions through quality of argument, not seniority. You can disagree and commit - and you know when to do which. AI-Readiness: You think about AI strategically, not just tactically. You've embedded AI-driven automation into production systems, can evaluate where it adds real leverage versus where it creates noise, and actively help the team develop this fluency. Continuous Learning: You stay current, experiment, and adapt. You optimize for the codebase 2 years from now, not just the sprint. Quality Mindset: You build maintainable, secure, well-tested services. You document, you mentor, you leave things better than you found them. Why you should join us: Be part of an ambitious growth journey - join a global community of driven, bold, entrepreneurial, yet humble Epassians in a company that is constantly evolving.

Location: Cardiff Hybrid Salary: up to £68,000, depending on experience plus a potential bonus up to £13,600 A hands-on senior role where you'll solve complex technical problems, deliver large and demanding pieces of work, and support the more junior engineers around you, at one of Europe's leading financial businesses About LDMS Founded in 2018, LDMS is part of the LC Financial Holdings group, a three-pillar organisation with over 950 employees across Europe. Between us we have more than 20 years of world-class credit expertise. We build digital lending software in a market growing around 18% a year. We want to lead that space, and to do it we need people who can think, create and challenge each other to find the best solutions for our customers. We have an ambitious to-do list: improving what we've built, building new products, and moving into new markets. The Role You'll join the Engineering team at LDMS as a Senior Engineer, working within a single team and reporting to an Engineering Team Lead. You'll take on challenging problems your team faces, including designing solutions to complex features and writing the design documentation that others build from. You'll work within the technical direction set by your Lead Engineer and be one of the people they rely on to turn that direction into working software. Our stack is React and TypeScript on the frontend, Java with Spring Boot on the backend, and PostgreSQL with schema-per-tenant multi-tenancy underneath, all cloud-hosted on AWS. You'll hold the quality bar for your team through code review, pairing and the example you set, and you'll lead the delivery of large features. Mentoring and growing more junior engineers is a core part of the job. As you develop, your influence will start to reach beyond your own team. This is a senior hands-on role, not a line-management one. Key Responsibilities These may change with the needs of the business, but the main areas are: Technical Skills Design solutions to complex features and write the design documentation that other engineers build from. Hold the technical quality bar for your team through code review, pairing and the example you set. Spot gaps in testing, security or performance across your team's work, and fix them or make the case for fixing them. Work within the technical direction and standards set by your Lead Engineer and feedback into them where you see a better approach. Watch for scaling, reliability and operability problems before they cause incidents and help keep the team's work observable and secure. Delivery Lead the delivery of large features, involving other engineers. Turn vague or unclear requirements into concrete engineering work the team can pick up. Keep the team's delivery standards up, and step in when they slip rather than waiting to be asked.

Full time
Location: Cardiff Hybrid Salary: up to £68,000, depending on experience plus a potential bonus up to £13,600 A hands-on senior role where you'll solve complex technical problems, deliver large and demanding pieces of work, and support the more junior engineers around you, at one of Europe's leading financial businesses About LDMS Founded in 2018, LDMS is part of the LC Financial Holdings group, a three-pillar organisation with over 950 employees across Europe. Between us we have more than 20 years of world-class credit expertise. We build digital lending software in a market growing around 18% a year. We want to lead that space, and to do it we need people who can think, create and challenge each other to find the best solutions for our customers. We have an ambitious to-do list: improving what we've built, building new products, and moving into new markets. The Role You'll join the Engineering team at LDMS as a Senior Engineer, working within a single team and reporting to an Engineering Team Lead. You'll take on challenging problems your team faces, including designing solutions to complex features and writing the design documentation that others build from. You'll work within the technical direction set by your Lead Engineer and be one of the people they rely on to turn that direction into working software. Our stack is React and TypeScript on the frontend, Java with Spring Boot on the backend, and PostgreSQL with schema-per-tenant multi-tenancy underneath, all cloud-hosted on AWS. You'll hold the quality bar for your team through code review, pairing and the example you set, and you'll lead the delivery of large features. Mentoring and growing more junior engineers is a core part of the job. As you develop, your influence will start to reach beyond your own team. This is a senior hands-on role, not a line-management one. Key Responsibilities These may change with the needs of the business, but the main areas are: Technical Skills Design solutions to complex features and write the design documentation that other engineers build from. Hold the technical quality bar for your team through code review, pairing and the example you set. Spot gaps in testing, security or performance across your team's work, and fix them or make the case for fixing them. Work within the technical direction and standards set by your Lead Engineer and feedback into them where you see a better approach. Watch for scaling, reliability and operability problems before they cause incidents and help keep the team's work observable and secure. Delivery Lead the delivery of large features, involving other engineers. Turn vague or unclear requirements into concrete engineering work the team can pick up. Keep the team's delivery standards up, and step in when they slip rather than waiting to be asked. Make sound decisions when the information is incomplete and keep work moving when requirements change or things get blocked. Impact Make a real difference to your team's output, quality and technical ability. Help junior and mid engineers get better through pairing, honest feedback and giving them work that stretches them. Contribute to department-wide engineering standards and documentation. Help shape your team's goals and technical plans and connect the work back to what the business is trying to achieve.
