Proven ability to design and deliver scalable, resilient solutions using technologies such as C#, .NET, Azure, APIs, distributed systems, and SQL Server.
Comfortable contributing to architecture, technical strategy, and engineering best practices, with experience in microservices, event-driven systems, Domain Driven Design (DDD), and cloud-native patterns
A product mindset that goes beyond technical requirements to understand customer problems, deliver meaningful outcomes, and drive business impact.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working in Agile, cross-functional product teams and helping to raise engineering standards across the organisation.
