But were not stopping there and our engineers are at the forefront of taking us forward to meet the demands of even greater scale. 

Our stack runs on AWS as a set of distributed applications using Kubernetes and a microserviceled architecture. We are also utilising Kafka for our streaming and PACT for Contract testing.  

What youll get to do:

• Cloudrelated tools services and distributed system observability to support these applications such as Docker Kubernetes ElasticSearch log management systems and Datadog APM to name but a few 

• API specifications conforming to the OpenAPI (Swagger) standard provide a clean boundary both externally between our customers and our product and internally between our microservices 

• SQL and large SQL databases provide the persistence layer for our applications. Youll be working with (and know the limitations of using) such large datastores 

• Infrastructure automation is primarily owned by the infrastructure team but you will be a consumer of their work familiarity with AWS Terraform and Docker is beneficial 

• Testing approaches including TDD BDD and Contract Testing all form an important part of our approach to quality assurance ensuring that the code that we write forms products that are fit for use. We currently use a variety of frameworks including JUnit RSpec and Cucumber 

• Agile development with teams broadly aligned with the Spotify Squads & Tribes model helps us deliver incremental improvements to our products in an iterative manner. Advocating this model and joining us on a journey of continuous improvement is a key attribute of members of our teams

• GitHub and the GitHub PR review process forms a core part of our developer workflow and peer reviews help share knowledge and improve quality
