Requirements:

Collaborate closely with Product Managers during discovery, contributing technical feasibility insights and creative solutions
Think in terms of user outcomes and business metrics, not just technical deliverables
Make data-driven decisions using analytics, user research, and experimentation

Develop using Microservices technology (Docker, Kubernetes, Serverless, etc., especially in GCP)
Build software with modern web technologies: HTML/CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React/Angular/Vue
Work across the stack: frontend, backend (Python, Java, Node.js), and databases (SQL)

Prototype rapidly to validate ideas before committing to full implementation
Design and implement A/B tests and feature flags to validate hypotheses
Instrument applications for analytics and monitoring

Use metrics to measure success and iterate on solutions
Balance technical debt with feature velocity based on business priorities
Work seamlessly across app, cloud, backend, and embedded systems teams
Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Participate actively in product planning and prioritisation discussions
Mentor other engineers and contribute to our engineering culture
Bring in third-party open-source tools when they solve real problems
Prototype new ideas independently and across teams
Stay curious about emerging technologies and evaluate them for business value

Continuously learn and adapt to new tools, frameworks, and methodologies
