Responsibilities
- Drive technical direction across integration platform + delivery work, with clear trade-offs and pragmatic sequencing.
- Define and raise engineering quality standards for integrations (testing expectations, reliability/monitoring, security, logging), including for work done by external developers/partners.
- Lead initiatives that enable scale, like reusable patterns/tooling (e.g., IDK) and frameworks that reduce one-off implementation work. You will be doing that primarily using Kotlin.
- Improve ways of working: planning, prioritisation, and protecting the team from constant mid-week churn.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative solutions across Platform, Services, SMB, and other domains.
- Participate in code reviews, post-mortems, and provide mentorship to other engineers.
- Proactively address technical debt and guide the team through technical challenges and migrations.
Requirements
- Expertise in server-side languages, especially Kotlin, and experience with distributed systems, microservices, and cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes).
- Proficiency with relational databases like PostgreSQL, testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Testcontainers), and observability tools like Grafana.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset to mentor and upskill your teammates.
- A proven ability to lead large projects, manage ambiguity, and maintain high standards for code quality and reliability.
- A passion for innovation and driving impactful solutions within a fast-paced scale-up environment.
Nice to Have
- Expertise in building integrations or working on accounting systems (is an advantage, but not necessary)
- Senior-level systems thinking, able to operate “outside the team” and influence stakeholders.
