Purpose of the job

• As a Software Engineer, you’ll be a core member of a cross-functional product squad, building new features and services as part of a modern, cloud-native platform. You’ll be working with experienced engineers, Product Managers, and QAs to develop scalable, well-tested systems using a contemporary tech stack; all in a greenfield environment.
• This is a hands-on role, where you’ll spend most of your time coding, refining technical tasks, and solving real user problems through software. You’ll learn by doing, pairing with others when needed and contributing to everything from front-end interfaces to backend services and APIs.
• We’re big on engineering quality; this entails end-to-end CI/CD, observability, infrastructure-as-code, and automated testing are baked into how we work. You’ll be encouraged to explore new ideas, use AI-powered tools where helpful, and continuously sharpen your skills as an engineer.
• If you’re looking for a role where you can write great code, grow your experience across the stack, and ship features that matter, please apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Write clean, efficient, and testable code (for both frontend and backend services), owning features and services from design to deployment.
• Work closely with your squad (PMs, engineers, QAs) to refine requirements, contribute to scoping technical solutions, and deliver great software.
• Write unit and integration tests and contribute to a robust CI/CD setup that ensures safe, reliable releases.
• Deploy and operate software in AWS using tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions.
• Take part in code reviews, retrospectives, and regular feedback sessions to improve as an engineer.
• Take responsibility for the health, performance, and maintainability of the code you ship.
• Look for opportunities to improve development workflows using AI-powered tooling and automation.
• Be a mentor and teacher to less experienced engineers.
• Develop in an Agile environment using tools like Git, Jira, and Confluence, with a mindset of collaboration and continuous improvement.

Preferred

• Computer Science or Information Technology degree, Diploma or similar

Non-negotiable

• 4-6 years of experience in software development with a strong focus on TypeScript (Node.js & React) and strong knowledge of JavaScript fundamentals.
• Comfortable with basic cloud development on a Cloud platform (AWS & Azure), using CI/CD pipelines (we use GitHub Actions) and tools like Terraform.
• Familiar with writing unit tests and automated tests, and understand the importance of test coverage, maintainability, and regression safety.
• You enjoy solving engineering problems and are comfortable breaking down tasks, asking questions, and working through ambiguity.
• You’re eager to learn from your teammates and grow as a full-stack engineer, actively participating in a team committed to continuous improvement.

Personal Attributes

• Show initiative: self-driven, independent problem-solver who take ownership end-to-end
• Innately curious: constantly questioning, learning, and seeking deeper understanding
• Innovative: think outside the box and be creative and implement ideas that enhance our systems – innovation is valued highly at Collinson

• Strong analytical and investigative problem-solving skills
• Hungry and eager to make a difference at a technical and operational level
• The ability to get things done – we don’t like micro-management, but we expect you to do the right thing
• An attitude of being proud of your code and taking ownership
