Senior Developer - Full Stack

BorrowMyDoggy is looking for a well-rounded and experienced Senior Developer to work on all technical areas of the business. This is a hands-on role, involving both day-to-day development work and longer-term strategic planning.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Shaping the company’s technical strategy at all levels, from detailed code library choices to large-scale vendor and technology selection
• Functional development of the product platform, in response to business requirements
• Ongoing refinement and improvement of all technical systems and processes
• Routine maintenance and operational support of production and test environments
• Issue triage, investigation and resolution planning
• Serving the needs of the business by designing for scalability, reliability, and budgetary requirements
• Maintaining and influencing the security of BorrowMyDoggy’s systems and processes, performing audits of public-facing services, and following advisories and industry developments where appropriate
• Designing, building and maintaining integrations with third-party systems
• An ongoing programme of legacy system modernisation and replacement

The ideal applicant will have extensive (5+ years) hands-on technical experience working as a senior or lead developer, ranging from customer-facing front-end systems - both web and mobile - through to back-end architecture.
