Senior Software Engineer

Maidenhead (UK) and Copenhagen

About The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Developer Productivity Engineering team. Our mission is to make life better for engineers across the company by improving tools, systems, and workflows that help them build, test, and ship great software—faster and with greater confidence.

You’ll play a key role in understanding how our internal developer community works, identifying what gets in their way, and building solutions that reduce friction and unlock their full potential. This is a highly collaborative role that blends technical leadership with a deep focus on developer experience, community needs, and long-term impact.

If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, empowering others, and shaping the future of how teams work—you’ll feel right at home here.

What You'll Do

• Lead and deliver team or product goals that drive meaningful improvements to how developers work, with autonomy and clarity.
• Shape technical strategy and lead the design and implementation of cross-functional projects that improve tools, workflows, and delivery pipelines.
• Build reliable, scalable systems and internal tools that enhance the day-to-day experience of engineers.
• Listen to the internal developer community, gather feedback, and turn insights into actionable solutions.
• Support and mentor engineers, sharing knowledge and contributing to a culture of learning, inclusion, and high-quality work.
• Contribute as a multiplier, creating reusable solutions, frameworks, and patterns that benefit many teams.
• Collaborate closely across teams (engineering, product, design, infrastructure) to align on goals and deliver impactful outcomes.
• Identify and address areas of friction, such as manual processes, operational issues, or technical debt, and work to improve or eliminate them.
• Represent your team in technical discussions, hiring efforts, and cross-team initiatives.
• Demonstrate ownership and resilience, especially when responding to incidents or navigating uncertainty.
  
  

Technologies You'll Work With

Our stack includes:

• C# (.NET Core)
• Go (Golang)
• Python
• JavaScript/TypeScript (React)
• PostgreSQL
• Kafka and other event-streaming technologies
• Docker and containerized environments
• Microservices and distributed systems
• Kubernetes and kubernetes application development
  
  

You don’t need to have experience with every tool listed—we care more about your ability to learn, adapt, and bring thoughtful solutions to the table.

What You Bring

• A solid foundation in software engineering, typically gained through 7+ years of experience.
• Experience building tools, platforms, or systems that support and enable other engineers.
• A strong sense of empathy for developers and a desire to improve their day-to-day experience.
• Comfort working in complex systems and driving projects that may span multiple teams or systems.
• Ability to turn high-level goals into actionable steps, and navigate ambiguity with focus and clarity.
• An inclusive and collaborative approach to mentoring, feedback, and team success.
• A commitment to writing clean, maintainable code and designing systems that are both thoughtful and resilient.
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to adjust your style based on your audience.
