Our Winning Team
Our purpose is to empower better lives through football. We are proud of the role City Football Group clubs play in their localities, delivering positive economic, social and environmental impact through our operations and through programmes and activities that bring about meaningful, lasting change.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Foundational Solutions team. This role is responsible for leading the technical delivery of enterprise-grade applications and integrations that underpin City Football Group’s global technology landscape.
As a senior engineer, you will combine hands-on technical expertise with leadership responsibilities - owning solution design, guiding delivery, mentoring engineers, and ensuring platforms are built to scale, integrate, and operate reliably across the organisation.

As part of our team, you will be entitled to 26 days annual leave plus an additional day off for your birthday, private healthcare and a Simply Health cash plan, an annual discretionary bonus, plus a range of partnership and lifestyle discounts.
Your Impact
- Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of cloud-native applications and data integrations aligned to enterprise architecture standards.
- Take full ownership of technical documentation, ensuring systems, workflows, and processes are clearly documented, maintainable, and scalable.
- Build and evolve integration patterns using APIs, data pipelines, and messaging solutions to enable interoperable platforms.
- Champion DevOps best practices, guiding CI/CD pipeline development with a focus on automation, quality, and reliability.
What we are looking for
Essential
- Significant experience in software engineering and system integration, spanning front-end and back-end systems.
- Strong hands-on experience with languages such as Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar.
- Proven delivery of enterprise applications in a cloud environment (preferably Azure, but AWS/GCP also relevant).
- Solid experience with DevOps tooling, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure-as-code.
Desirable
- Experience with containerisation and orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes).
- Exposure to serverless or event-driven architectures.
- Experience delivering within Agile, Scrum, or hybrid delivery environments.
- Interest in improving automation, tooling, and platform efficiency.
