Senior Software Engineer - #2195664

Scope & authority:

• Accountable for shaping, building and delivering prototypes and end-to-end thin-slice solutions close to users, including UI, APIs, integrations and automation workflows.
• Owns local technical decisions required to deliver outcomes at pace, within approved architecture patterns, engineering standards, controls and governance frameworks. Authority includes recommending solution patterns, implementing integrations/automations, and escalating material risks, dependencies or control gaps.

Role description & core accountabilities

• This role exists because high-impact delivery often requires engineers embedded with users to rapidly discover the right solution, prove value via prototypes, and then harden and deliver end-to-end capabilities into production pathways.
• The Forward Deployed Engineer accelerates learning loops while maintaining engineering discipline, ensuring what’s built can scale, be supported and be reused.

User-adjacent delivery & rapid prototyping - Work directly with users to understand workflows and pain points; translate needs into prototypes, demos and thin-slice implementations that validate value quickly and reduce delivery risk.

End-to-end solution build (UI/API/integration/automation) - Design and implement complete solutions across front end, back end, integrations and automation, using approved platforms and patterns to deliver measurable outcomes.

Solution shaping & technical options - Propose pragmatic technical approaches, MVP scopes and delivery sequencing; balance speed with security, resilience, and maintainability.

Integration & automation enablement - Build and configure integrations (systems/APIs/events) and automate operational processes (workflows, controls, reporting) to remove manual steps and improve reliability.

Engineering standards & controls adherence - Ensure solutions meet engineering standards, secure coding practices, testing, and control requirements; raise risks early and embed controls by design.

Production readiness & handover - Drive operational readiness including logging/monitoring, runbooks, support handover, and non-functional considerations; ensure solutions can be operated safely at scale.

Reuse and platform alignment - Prefer reuse over bespoke; contribute reusable components, patterns, templates and reference implementations back to engineering/platform communities.

Feedback loop to platforms - Capture field constraints and needs; convert into actionable platform/tooling feedback (user stories, defects, enhancements, benefits) to improve enterprise capabilities.

Stakeholder management close to delivery - Communicate progress, trade-offs, and risks clearly to business and technology stakeholders; keep momentum and decisions unblocked.

Experience — Required

• Proven experience delivering end-to-end software solutions, covering UI, APIs/services, and integration with upstream/downstream systems.
• Strong ability to rapidly prototype, iterate with users, and then harden solutions towards production readiness.
• Experience building integrations and automation (e.g., workflows, orchestration, scripting, CI/CD automation) in enterprise environments.
• Working knowledge of secure engineering practices, testing, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and operational handover.
• Experience collaborating with product and business stakeholders to shape MVP scope and manage trade-offs.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments with shifting requirements, while maintaining delivery discipline and transparency.

Experience — Preferred

• Experience delivering within regulated/controlled environments (risk, audit, security, data handling) and navigating governance pragmatically.
• Experience with platform-based delivery and reuse (shared services, APIs, integration platforms, enterprise tooling), including knowing when to reuse vs build.
• Experience with modern UI frameworks, API design, event-driven or integration patterns, and automation/orchestration tooling.
• Experience working in Value Streams / product-led delivery, transformation pods, or forward-deployed/embedded engineering models.
• Experience contributing reusable accelerators (templates, reference apps, integration patterns) and coaching other engineers.
