Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be at the heart of our engineering team, leading by example and driving best practices across full-stack development. Reporting to an Engineering Chapter Lead, you will design, build, and optimise cloud-native applications, taking ownership of delivering high-quality, maintainable, and scalable software solutions.

You will work across the entire technology stack, with the flexibility to use the right tools for the right job. Whether it's crafting elegant front-end interfaces or designing resilient back-end services, you will have the autonomy to solve complex technical problems while mentoring others in the team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer who is passionate about modern software development, cloud technologies, and automation. If you thrive in a fast-paced, lean agile environment and enjoy experimenting with AI, automation, and cutting-edge tools, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by contributing to a platform that directly supports financial advisers and their clients. You will be able to work with modern cloud architectures, AI-driven solutions, and automation to stay ahead of the curve, and will be able to access mentorship, technical training, and career development opportunities, with a clear path to Engineering Lead and beyond.
