We are introducing a number of Senior Product Engineers to build the future B2B platform at Which?. You will be instrumental in creating a new greenfield full-stack, cloud-native platform in AWS to support new business offerings.

We are seeking experienced engineers with a background in scaled and established organizations. Ideal candidates will possess expertise in greenfield development, constructing end-to-end user experiences, and implementing new production workflows. Additionally, experience with integrating 3rd party APIs, including public API integrations, event-driven, and asynchronous flows is required.

What do we expect?

You will provide a high level of technical expertise and leadership within your squad supporting the Tech Lead Manager.

We are specifically looking for people who have the following characteristics:

• Technical Expertise: You are an expert in full-stack engineering with experience in scaled, cloud-native architecture. This expertise includes our core technologies:
  Type Script (Node and React/React native), and critical elements like AWS, Terraform, and building robust RESTful APIs and systems with large-scale integrations, including designing for event-driven and asynchronous flows. You will apply your expertise to build the new B2B platform and create new flows from scratch.
• End-to-End Use Case Ownership: You will take full ownership of the end-to-end use cases for the new B2B platform. This includes designing, implementing, and taking responsibility for the AWS infrastructure, deployment, and observability across the new stack.
• External Integrations Expertise: You will be instrumental in integrating with external partners and 3rd party APIs at scale, leveraging your strong knowledge of event-driven and asynchronous flows.
• Strategic Problem Solver: You will be taking on the most challenging engineering problems facing your squad, and in some cases this will involve driving a team of engineers towards delivering a successful outcome. You focus on solving problems pragmatically while adding value to the product.
• Data-driven and impact-focussed: You will always have our customers/users in mind, ensuring any features or changes you build can be proven to have a positive impact (quantitatively or qualitatively). You will regularly review data to identify and suggest potential improvements.
• Collaborative: You will be working within a multi-disciplinary squad focused on specific outcomes. You are responsible for collaborating on discovery work and ideation and working with other squads to drive better overall products.
• Curious and Proactive: You will never be happy with the status-quo, constantly looking for ways to improve the product, whether through technology or by changing internal processes and practices.
• Technical Mentorship & Stewardship: You support the Tech Lead Manager in mentoring and growing the other engineers in your squad, considering the bigger picture of your development work, including testing, code quality, performance, security, production environment, user experience, and Product vision.

• Software Development and Technical Direction
  :
  Writing software and tests, software design, and working on quality aspects like performance, security, and fault tolerance. This will focus on the new B2B platform's core services, APIs, and end-to-end user experience. You will own the release process and champion innovative use of cloud-native AWS technology. You will engage in technical discussions to guide decisions on the greenfield architecture.
• Collaboration
  :
  Working with your squad and stakeholders to set up and plan quarterly OKRs that drive the success of the new B2B offering. You will ensure your Squad's work on the B2B platform is aligned with the wider strategy and commitments.
• Operational Excellence: Setting high standards and driving engineering best practice across the new B2B stack. This includes focusing on observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) for the cloud-native solution, participating in peer reviews, and facilitating the maintenance of engineering standards, reliability, and performance.
• Squad Empowerment: Contributing to a culture of creativity, curiosity, collaboration, inclusion and innovation within your Squads as you adopt new technologies and practices for the greenfield project.
• Championing "You Build It, You Run It": Drive the adoption of the "You build it, you run it" culture, especially as you own the deployment and operations of the new AWS stack.

At this level you will initially start on the technical leadership track, where you can take on increasingly hard problems with increasing span of…
