Develop and maintain backend infrastructure for a key mobile application using Azure Functions, while making important architectural decisions that drive technical solutions.

What you'll be doing

As a Senior Software Developer, you will play a key role in developing and maintaining the backend infrastructure that powers Renewal, our React Native mobile application.

Your opinion matters within your role - your peers will look to you as a technical expert within the team. You will make important architectural decisions that align with our infrastructure, and be able to explain these decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical team members.
