Progress into technical leadership and architecture, influencing scalability, performance and future market rollout
Work with globally distributed engineers, with Product Managers and BAs based onsite

Proven experience as a Senior Engineer or Technical Lead on complex platforms
Strong hands-on capability with TypeScript / Node.js
Solid Azure experience in production environments
Comfortable owning systems, making decisions and leading technically without heavy oversight
Background in financial services or other regulated / data-heavy environments is useful but not essential

Interesting domain with real-world complexity
Long-term programme with scope to influence architecture and delivery
