SalaryYour team
You will be a part of the Brand Enablement team that delivers cutting edge, exciting products across the Flutter group pushing the boundaries of performance while demanding maximum stability.
We deliver products that intuitively resonate with our customers, enabling experimentation, maximising simplicity and ease-of-use across our three main brands Sky Betting and Gaming, Paddy Power and Betfair.
Our cross-functional teams shape highly available, scalable and resilient systems to support our apps and websites. Focusing on automation, infrastructure-as-code and real-time data, we use the right tech to get the job done.
What you’ll do
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer that will bring a strong base knowledge of engineering principles, experience of both developing and maintaining always-on live systems, and with an interest in high throughput systems.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong base knowledge of engineering principles, experience of both developing and maintaining always-on live systems, and with an interest in high throughput systems.
As a Senior Software Engineer you’ll be leading the way with the latest technologies including:
Java for our services
Docker to containerise them
Jenkins to build them
AWS and Kubernetes to host them
Grafana and Prometheus to monitor them
How you’ll do it
Turn concepts and requirements into highly available applications and systems using industry standard languages and technologies such as Java, Docker, Prometheus, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
Actively participate in, and in some cases lead on, application and database design, data flows and detailed technical design. Ensure that analysis includes the wider view of technical and business impact.
Take ownership for code quality, security and scalability and have an equal grasp of the overall system you are working on and how it meets the needs of the end users, and business objectives.
Balance the commercial needs of the business against the ideal technical design, proposing sound phased or tactical implementations where appropriate.
Understand the importance of non-functionals such as real-time monitoring, good alert design and great logging strategies. Ensuring systems perform well to deliver the best user experience possible is something you consider as part of the normal delivery process.
Proactively support and mentor other team members, working with them to help them improve their skills.
Support the implementation of continuous integration to enhance deployment processes.
Work with other Engineers, technical and non-technical stakeholders, and system architects to envision, design and deliver industry leading systems, and to set a sustainable forward strategy.
Deputise for the Lead Software Engineer where required, representing the team to other stakeholders and teams.
