Senior Full Stack Developer

About the role

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Full Stack Developer to help build and maintain the software platform behind a regulated digital asset exchange serving an institutional client base. This is a senior generalist role. Rather than being aligned to a single team, you will be placed across a large, polyglot codebase according to need, applying your judgement and engineering discipline wherever it is required. You will make recommendations on tooling, standards, and testing strategy, and will help create a coherent and maintainable application landscape.

Key responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the products you contribute to, helping shape what gets built and why; contributing to product direction, defining the problem, and making the design and delivery decisions that follow
• Own the resulting solution end to end, from concept through delivery, quality, and ongoing operation, within a regulated environment
• Follow and improve an AI-assisted software development lifecycle to analyse, design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain features end to end, utilising established software development principles and patterns
• Operate within a comprehensive, enforced set of engineering standards and automated quality gates, ensuring all contributions meet the platform's requirements for correctness, security, and auditability
• Contribute ideas to the overall improvement of the development process, and mentor colleagues to raise the standard and quality of work across the team

About you

• A degree relevant to Information Technology, Computer Science, or Engineering (or equivalent), and at least 10 years of relevant work experience
• Proven ability to architect and design a full-stack solution end to end
• Excellent technical knowledge in developing solutions using relational databases (PostgreSQL), including schema design and migrations
• Excellent technical knowledge in developing solutions using microservices and messaging architectures and protocols (e.g. gRPC, pub/sub, event streaming, WebSockets)
• Excellent technical knowledge in developing solutions with containerised technologies (Docker), and a sound understanding of CI/CD and secure DevOps practices
• Practical, hands-on experience incorporating AI-assisted development tooling (such as AI coding assistants and agents)
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, and excellent English language skills (both spoken and written)
• Previous experience in the financial services industry, particularly with capital markets, custody, or trading software solutions
• Exposure to blockchain and distributed-ledger technology, and to the tokenization of real-world assets
• Experience working within a regulated environment and an understanding of the constraints it places on delivery
