Do work that matters:
Step into a role where AI powered engineering sits at the heart of everything you build. Within the Acquisition, Engagement & Retention Crew, you will help lead flagship Merchant Modernisation initiatives, creating intelligent, automated and highly personalised experiences at scale. This is a true full stack, full cycle role for a Staff Software Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast through change, and is motivated by solving complex, high impact problems that shape the future of digital experiences.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will bring deep hands-on experience across modern JavaScript frameworks including TypeScript, Next.js and React, alongside strong back-end expertise in .NET and AWS based cloud architectures. You will write high quality production code, shape platform and system architecture, and provide technical leadership to deliver secure, scalable and AI enabled solutions.
We are looking for engineers with broad technical depth rather than narrow specialisation, who are excited to learn, experiment and apply AI driven capabilities such as automation and foundational AI tooling to transform how products are built and delivered, alongside a team that values craft, innovation and real-world impact.
Our Crew is in the process of delivering breakthroughs in smart onboarding, dynamic engagement and data-led automation. The future is even more exciting, with next generation acquisition journeys, hyper personalised digital experiences and platform foundations engineered for intelligence, reliability and speed.
This is a place where your expertise truly matters. A place to design, build, challenge and run products that make a real impact. A place filled with people who care deeply about craft, innovation and shaping what comes next.
