Your team will be active in research-and-development, building proof-of-concept software and evolving that to high-quality, enterprise-grade solutions.
Role Responsibilities:: Investigating, together with your team, the set of technologies that would best serve the solution you are designing and building.
Active participation in all aspects of software solution design, including code structure, deployment architecture, DevOps, automated testing and integration of third party systems.
Collaborating with client stakeholders and with fellow Propellerhead Developers, Analysts, and Solution Architects, to create a shared understanding of the solution design and roadmap delivery in line with agreed budgets.
Constructing software at every layer of the stack, from user interfaces, back end services, data repositories, interoperability, infrastructure-as-code, deployment pipelines, automated testing and system monitoring.
Providing second-line support of the systems you build and actively seeking ways to keep your software secure, performant and reliable.
Passing on your learning of new technologies or techniques to the broader organisation as part of our knowledge sharing programme.

Hands-on experience deploying to Azure and/or AWS, including participation in building CI/CD pipelines.
