Senior Fullstack Software Engineer (Node.js, React, Typescript, Java, Kotlin)

Senior Software Developers collaborate with Business and Quality Analysts, Designers, Project Managers and more to design software solutions that will create meaningful change for our clients. They listen thoughtfully to understand the context of a business problem and write clean and iterative code to deliver a powerful end result whilst consistently advocating for better engineering practices. By balancing strong opinions with a willingness to find the right answer, Senior Software Developers bring integrity to technology, ensuring all voices are heard.
