This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely influential senior engineering role within a growing product-focused technology team.

The Company
They are a well-established media and technology organisation undergoing a period of modernisation and growth. The business builds and operates large-scale platforms that support end-to-end advertising and campaign delivery for a wide range of clients. Engineering is seen as a core driver of product quality, innovation, and commercial success.

The focus is on building scalable, well-architected systems and improving how the team approaches problem solving and technical decision making.


Key responsibilities include:
*Designing and building robust backend and frontend services that support business-critical products
*Contributing to architectural decisions and ensuring systems are scalable, maintainable, and well structured
*Providing technical guidance and coaching to a small group of engineers without formal line management
*Collaborating closely with product, UX, and architecture colleagues to shape solutions from concept to delivery
*Challenging requirements constructively and helping the team focus on the why, not just the task


Your Skills and Experience
*Strong commercial experience building production-grade software in JavaScript or TypeScript environments
*Backend development experience with Node.js and modern APIs
*Frontend experience with React, ideally including Next.js
*Experience working in a cloud environment such as AWS
*The ability to think critically about system design, priorities, and trade-offs
*Comfortable taking the lead on technical discussions and supporting other engineers through complex problems
*Exposure to data, AI, or Python is beneficial but not essential


What They Offer
*The chance to work on high-impact, business-critical products
*A collaborative environment with clear scope to influence engineering standards and technical direction
*Strong long-term progression as the engineering function continues to grow
