Role
This is an exciting and impactful role that provides the opportunity to heavily influence the technical growth of our team and products. You will bring your passion for technology, experience of developing great software, and constant desire to improve. There are a wide range of opportunities to flex your technical skills, from designing and optimising searching algorithms, spearheading greenfield projects to ensuring existing products run as efficiently and reliably as possible. There is no line management responsibility with this role - you will work closely with Engineering Managers, Product Managers and other Technical Leads to drive technical excellence within our teams and deliver value for our customers.
What You Will Do
* Take ownership of the technical design, delivery, and documentation of our address search products as we scale to support millions of transactions per day. This role has a mix of both hands-on development as well as lead/architecture work
* Raise the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and operational excellence
* Mentor and coach others to help them be the best they can be
* Care about agility as much as you care for scalability and availability. Continuous deployment keeps us focused on incremental releases
* Take responsibility for platform health and observability, using our own data to understand user behaviour and drive product development
Qualifications
* A strong foundation in software engineering principles and deep knowledge of a high-level programming language. Go is used heavily across our products.
* Experience with distributed cloud systems, containers, and infrastructure as code. We run on Kubernetes across different cloud platforms
* Strong knowledge of database technologies used with algorithmic searching (e.g. ElasticSearch, SQL Server, MongoDB)
* Experience designing algorithmic software for scale, performance, and high availability
* Experience as a primary technical leader in a team and collaboration with other teams and stakeholders
* A passion for promoting engineering excellence through coaching and guidance
* Understanding of architectural and design patterns and when to apply them
* Experience shipping fast, reliable, real-time applications using modern development tools and practices
Nice to have
