What We’re Looking For Beyond Technical Skills

Architectural ownership

• Experience leading the design of a solution from requirements through to implementation.
• Ability to propose, justify, and document architecture and design decisions, not just execute someone else’s design.
• Comfortable owning the technical direction of a feature end-to-end.

Design patterns and error handling

• Applies appropriate design patterns to solve problems cleanly and consistently.
• Designs robust error-handling strategies, considering what can fail, how it should fail, and how failures are communicated to the caller and end user.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Experience working closely with frontend, DevOps, product owners, and business analysts to ensure a solution is complete.
• Ability to translate business requirements into technical design, define clear interfaces between teams, and clarify responsibilities before work begins.

Testing mindset

• Considers how a feature should be tested as part of its design.
• Identifies happy paths, edge cases, and failure scenarios within the product context.
• Understands where unit, integration, and end-to-end tests add value and writes them as part of delivery.

Documentation

• Documents decisions, designs, and non-obvious behaviour so teammates can understand and maintain the work.
• Keeps technical documentation practical and up to date.

Communication

• Clear, concise written and verbal communicator.
• Can explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders, give and receive feedback constructively, and raise concerns early.
• Keeps teammates informed without being asked.

Prioritisation and pragmatism

• Manages time and scope effectively.
• Delivers solutions that are clean, maintainable, fit for purpose, and meet requirements.

English proficiency

• Strong written and spoken English for daily collaboration, documentation, code reviews, and cross-team communication.
