• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Excellent documentation skills and close attention to detail

• A pragmatic approach to delivery in a fast-moving environment

Experience with React Native or mobile application development will be well regarded but is not essential.

Relevant qualifications in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related discipline are preferred. Equivalent industry experience will also be considered.

About you

You are a practical, collaborative engineer who is equally comfortable developing new functionality and improving existing systems. You care about maintainable code, reliable applications and clear documentation, and you can confidently troubleshoot complex issues across frontend, backend and cloud environments.
