• Understanding of modern front-end architecture
• Experience working in Agile teams
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Excellent attention to detail

We are committed to building a diverse team and understand that great engineers follow many different paths – and we support flexible and hybrid working arrangements to help people do their best work. Accordingly, we welcome applications from people with a range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives - if you don’t meet every requirement listed, if you’re excited about this role and contributing to building secure, regulated infrastructure we encourage you to apply.
