    • Be a mentor to new team members and handle a full caseload of hands-on coding/ implementation projects.

    • Execute a number of projects which contribute to the build of our platform. Take responsibility for coding core-feature implementation projects and Greenfield projects. Make an impactful contribution, ask great questions, and execute high quality work.

    • Classify, store and handle data in accordance with policies.

    • Take responsibility for the state of the code you both inherit and produce. Have strong technical knowledge across all parts of the tech stack.

    • Maintain high test coverage and peer review colleagues’ pull requests. 

    • Research and stay abreast of key technical developments and industry trends and innovations.

    What would the ideal candidate be great at?

    • Technical competence; love coding, able to learn new paradigms quickly and look to continuously improve and find better ways of doing things.

    • Excellent critical judgement; able to make good decisions, be trusted, respected and dependable, be proactive and responsive, ask the right questions, raise flags at the right time, able to prioritise and plan workloads for the team.

    • Mindfulness; be considerate of the implications of your work, really care about what you are doing and the impact of your contribution.

    • Coaching and mentoring; teaching concepts, listening and adapting, empathy and a motivation to understand what makes others tick.

    • Teamwork and team spirit; we are all contributing to the same platform, so you need to not only be a great individual contributor but be more motivated by the achievements of the whole team - we only win if the team wins, see the impact of your own work and positively influence and help the work of others.

    • Getting up to the front of the bus; get stuck in, execute, generate ideas, have an impact, don’t just sit back and be a passenger.
