Role Overview
We are seeking a skilled Senior Developer to join a newly formed engineering team focused on removing legacy components and addressing technical debt within our Media Services products. This role will involve working closely with stakeholders to understand system requirements, designing robust replacement components, and implementing them using cloud-native technologies and modern engineering practices.
The ideal candidate will bring proven expertise in AWS services, particularly with AWS CDK, alongside strong experience in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines. Proficiency in Java microservices development and test driven development (TDD) is essential, as is hands on experience in component migrations. A proactive and detail-oriented approach will be vital to ensure smooth transitions from legacy systems to scalable, reliable, and future-proof solutions.
In addition, experience with software testing practices, Agile methodologies (Scrum or Kanban), and defensive programming techniques will be highly desirable. We are looking for someone who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced teams, who can balance technical precision with delivery deadlines, and who is motivated by the challenge of modernising complex systems to drive efficiency and long-term sustainability.
