We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a fast-paced, high-growth technology division focused on third-party ticketing, integrations and high-availability booking systems.

*Legacy Decommissioning & Pipeline Architecture: Eliminating legacy system dependencies by building brand-new, scalable product import pipelines from scratch.
*Quality & AI Workflows: Building automated test frameworks and embedding modern AI-assisted tools for data transformation and streamlined development workflows.
Key Requirements *AWS & Infrastructure: Deep expertise in AWS cloud environments (hands-on familiarity with Kubernetes or serverless architecture is a major plus).
*Systems Design & Architecture: Proven capability in designing resilient, distributed backend architectures (Java or general backend engineering background).
*Quality & Testing: Strong track record of writing clean, highly testable production code and establishing automated test frameworks.
*Modern Integration Experience: Practical knowledge of building and managing webhooks, REST APIs, and external third-party data integrations.
*Agile Collaboration: High operational awareness, strong engagement with service health metrics, and a proactive approach to interrogating requirements rather than relying on assumptions.
