Senior Software Engineer

Description

Are you excited about building scalable, reliable, and secure systems? At TrueLayer, we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to have an integral part in shaping the future of our platform. You'll engage with advanced technologies such as AWS, Kubernetes, .NET, and Rust, aiding the development of essential systems utilised by customers worldwide.

This is more than just coding—it's an opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor peers, and define engineering best practices. You'll be at the forefront of designing and implementing solutions that promote innovation while ensuring our platform remains robust and efficient.

If you're excited to bring your expertise in software engineering to a collaborative environment, we’d like to hear from you!

What we expect from you, as a Senior Software Engineer

• Become a proficient user of our platforms (AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana, etc) and our tools (.NET and Rust). Training will be available to fill in any gaps in your current knowledge
• Partner with your Engineering Manager and Product Manager to size and break down requirements for new features and product efforts
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Employ design patterns, testing and automation to ensure fast and safe iteration cycles. Use your knowledge to coach your teammates and level up the whole engineering organisation
• Play an active role in our incident response. Support the Incident Lead by taking ownership of investigation and service recovery for the areas of our platform under your responsibility
• Contribute to cross-team technology efforts by joining our engineering guilds
• Role model our values and help make sure TrueLayer remains an exceptional place to work

About you:

• Extended experience with C# and .NET
• Thorough understanding of common design patterns and principles, and how/when to apply them
• Familiarity with API design and experience with at least one web framework
• Knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL data technologies, preferably with experience in PostgreSQL
• Understanding of microservice architecture and its associated challenges
• Familiarity with testing best practices — TDD, unit testing and integration testing, etc
• Experience with observability and alerting in mission-critical distributed systems
• Familiarity with RabbitMQ or similar message queue systems

We’d be particularly excited if you have:

• Understanding of protocol buffers and gRPC
• Hands-on experience with AWS and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
• Strong understanding of secure communications protocols, including mTLS and HTTPS
• Experience with observability tooling

Don’t meet all the requirements?

Multiple studies have shown that women and people of underrepresented groups are sometimes less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement. At Truelayer, we are committed to building a diverse workforce, so if you are excited about this role and have the essential skills, but not the entire checklist - we’d still love to hear from you!
