Our mission is to keep Britain moving by providing customer‑focused solutions to facilitate access to vehicles, maintenance and related services, including digital account management. We are committed to supporting the Group and wider UK in driving forward the sustainability agenda.
We are on a journey to transform our core technology architecture and the technical capabilities of our colleagues. This involves simplifying and modernising our technology architecture by developing new digital journeys, enabled by micro‑services, and leveraging a new data ecosystem. We are leveraging modern frameworks and native cloud capabilities, embedding DevOps and Agile practices to enable feature teams to increase autonomy and effectiveness.
As a Software Engineer you will design, develop and integrate software features on the product roadmaps that meet customer needs. You will work within a Lab Feature Team alongside a Product Owner and Quality Engineers to achieve business and technology outcomes while maintaining a deep focus on service.
Responsibilities
* Defining component software solutions that are considered, pragmatic and clear; raising when it feels appropriate to trade‑offs against the target architecture.
