Staff Software Engineer (Web & Mobile)

Salary: £71,000 - 99,000 per year

Requirements

• We have 10+ years of software experience, with significant time still spent hands-on in code and a track record of shipping product-impacting work end to end.
• We have real depth in the mobile app ecosystem, ideally iOS and/or Android, with strong fluency in Swift and/or Kotlin and the surrounding ecosystem, including offline sync, push, auth, persistence, networking, and REST/GraphQL.
• We have demonstrated breadth across at least one of web frontend, backend services, data/infra, or platform tooling alongside mobile.
• We have strong product judgment and can make, defend, and explain decisions about what not to build based on evidence.
• We are comfortable troubleshooting in production across stacks, including crash analysis, latency tracing, and release-health debugging.
• We have excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and help the people around us perform better.

Responsibilities

• We identify, scope, and ship changes that move business metrics across mobile, web, services, and data layers.
• We architect long-lasting systems that perform reliably at scale, including performance, reliability, scalability, offline behavior, and consistency.
• We lead technical design reviews across teams and weigh trade-offs across code, product impact, time-to-ship, and operational cost.
• We drive operational maturity in areas such as release management, observability, incident response, and performance monitoring, including for mobile apps.
• We partner with product managers, designers, and engineering leaders to shape what we build, why we build it, and in what order.
• We set the technical bar by building prototypes, proving patterns, and teaching them to others.
• We communicate trade-offs clearly to engineers, product partners, and senior stakeholders.
