• Deliver across backend (Java) and frontend (Angular) systems
• Build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS)
• Implement APIs, authentication (SSO/LDAP), and secure data pipelines
• Develop dashboards and data visualisations to transform complex datasets into actionable insights
• Partner with leadership to define the technical vision and roadmap
• Scale into a leadership role with opportunities to recruit and mentor engineers

What We’re Looking For
