About the Role
As a Staff Software Engineer within the Retail – Transaction domain, you will take technical leadership across two engineering teams responsible for critical customer journeys. You will combine deep hands-on engineering with Staff-level influence to shape checkout capabilities across web, backend, and native mobile experiences, while creating technical alignment across payments, orders, and shipping. This role offers the opportunity to influence architectural direction, raise engineering standards, and turn complex challenges into scalable solutions used by millions of customers across Europe.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical direction across two engineering teams and connected domains, designing scalable distributed solutions across frontend and backend.
- Facilitate complex architectural decisions and make pragmatic, data-driven trade-offs around performance, security, reliability, maintainability and cost.
- Identify risks that extend beyond an individual team.
- Remain hands-on across frontend and backend, shaping customer-facing experiences with React and scalable backend capabilities with Java.
- Influence solutions from early discovery and system design through implementation and production.
- Help establish the foundations for future native iOS and Android checkout experiences.
- Drive the adoption of architecture, performance, security, testing, observability and reliability practices.
- Work with engineering leads and specialist teams to turn recurring technical challenges into reusable patterns, guidelines and platform capabilities.
- Create alignment between Checkout, Payments, Orders, Shipping and other dependent teams where ownership and technical priorities cross boundaries.
- Mentor engineers, facilitate architecture and design discussions and provide technical direction without relying on formal authority.
- Enable teams to make stronger decisions independently.
- Partner with Product, UX and engineering leadership to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and translate business needs into sustainable technical strategy.
- Use data, metrics and industry trends to evaluate trade-offs, prioritise high-impact investments and determine when to evolve existing capabilities versus introduce new technologies or approaches.
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on Full Stack engineering expertise with React and Java.
- Comfortable taking production ownership across customer-facing frontend applications and backend services.
- Ability to reason about the wider system and make informed trade-offs across architecture, performance, security, reliability and maintainability.
- Operated at Staff/Principal level or demonstrated equivalent technical scope.
- Experience designing complex distributed systems and driving architectural decisions that affect multiple teams or domains.
- Ability to create technical alignment where there are competing requirements, constraints and opinions.
- Strong record of leading through influence and growing other engineers.
- Ability to mentor experienced engineers, facilitate architecture and design discussions, introduce engineering standards and create an environment where teams can make high-quality technical decisions without becoming a bottleneck.
- Combine technical depth with strong business and product judgement.
- Work effectively with Product, UX, Security, SRE and engineering stakeholders.
- Use metrics and evidence to guide decisions.
- Think beyond the immediate solution to achieve the best outcome for the wider organisation.
