Responsibilities
Working directly with product managers, frontend engineers, and collaborate with the wider business to shape technology-powered product solutions
Close collaboration within the backend engineering team, in code reviews, pair programming, knowledge sharing sessions and other activities to maintain best practices and consistency across the platform
Implementing, testing, and releasing new functionality across Elder’s backend systems with focus on the algorithms that match our customers with carers, and system integrations
Collaborating with frontend engineers in building new APIs and data contracts to support new functionality
Maintaining and evolving our cloud infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes) to ensure high availability, security, and performance
Managing service observability and reliability, including logging, metrics and alerting (we use Prometheus and Grafana)
Handling database and service upgrades (e.g. MySQL, Kubernetes), secrets management and security best practices
Taking ownership of platform-level concerns such as deployment pipelines, configuration management, and cost awareness
Helping drive pragmatic AI utilisation across our development lifecycle
Requirements
Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working on their own and directly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience working on backend platforms following modern architectures such as microservices or serverless, including deploying to production
Strong fundamentals of Java or Kotlin development practices
A good grasp of principles behind building reliable and scalable systems, including redundancy, time complexity, and memory management
Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and container orchestration, ideally with Kubernetes on GCP, and a strong understanding of platform reliability, cost awareness, and secure configuration
Solid understanding of security best practices across infrastructure and applications, including secrets management and credential rotation
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code or automation tools is a plus
Experience with observability tools (such as Prometheus and Grafana), service monitoring, and debugging in production environments
A demonstrated interest in staying up-to-date with new technology, new frameworks, new languages and other developments like AI
A passion for working collaboratively to solve meaningful real-world problems with technology, not just writing code!
Having worked with CQRS/event sourcing in the past is a bonus, but not a requirement - but you’re likely already in favour of functional style programming patterns.
