Senior Software Engineer Full Stack



Job description

Overview

Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack at Priority Pass (Collinson Group powered by Chapter2).

You’ll be a key figure in one of our cross-functional teams, designing and building cloud-native, greenfield products from the ground up.

You’ll own features and new capabilities, working closely with a Product Manager, Engineering Manager, and your teammates to deliver high-quality software that is reliable, scalable, and secure.

You’ll be hands-on every day; refining stories, writing code, reviewing pull requests, and solving interesting technical problems.

You’ll bring strong engineering practices to the team and help shape the way we build software.

While you’re not expected to manage people, your technical depth and experience mean you’ll naturally become a point of reference for others on the team.

We have a modern TypeScript stack, cloud-native environment, containerised deployments, and a strong focus on automation, observability, and AI-enhanced development.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, delivering high-impact features, and being part of a high-trust, high-autonomy engineering culture, we’d love to have you onboard.

Location: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

Key responsibilities

  • Write clean, efficient, and testable code (frontend and backend services), owning complex features and services from design to deployment.

  • Work closely with your squad (PMs, engineers, QAs) to refine requirements, scope technical solutions, and deliver great software.

  • Champion automated testing and CI/CD.

    You’ll write unit, integration, and contract tests, and help make our systems robust and reliable.

  • Build, deploy, and monitor services in AWS using tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions.

  • Take responsibility for the health, performance, and maintainability of the code you ship.

  • Help evolve our engineering standards and practices by sharing knowledge, reviewing code, and learning from incidents.

  • Champion observability.

    You’ll be using DataDog to monitor services and debug production issues.

  • Look for opportunities to improve development workflows using AI-powered tooling and automation.

  • Be a mentor and teacher to less experienced engineers.

  • Develop in an Agile environment using tools like Git, Jira, and Confluence, with a mindset of collaboration and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

  • Computer Science or Information Technology degree, Diploma or similar.

  • Experience building and running production systems on a cloud platform (i.e. AWS and Azure).

  • Comfortable developing software within an event-driven architecture.

  • Experience with technical design and solution architecture.

  • Deep knowledge of writing automated tests and the principles of TDD.

  • Comfortable building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (we use GitHub Actions) for code deployment primarily using Terraform.

  • Able to take a problem and run with it, bringing a pragmatic, product-focused approach to software delivery.

  • Personal Attributes:
    • Show initiative: self-driven, independent problem-solver who takes ownership end-to-end.

    • Innately curious: constantly questioning, learning, and seeking deeper understanding.

    • Innovative: think outside the box, be creative and implement ideas that enhance our systems.

    • Communicative collaborator: share openly, work across teams, and integrate feedback.

    • Strong analytical and investigative problem-solving skills.

    • Hungry and eager to make a difference at a technical and operational level.

    • Ability to get things done – we don’t micromanage, but we expect you to do the right thing.

    • Ownership mindset: proud of your code and taking ownership.

Interview process

  1. Stage 1 – Screener call with our recruitment team, where you can learn a bit more about Collinson, our values and we can confirm what you’re looking for in a new role.

  2. Stage 2 – A short call with one of our Engineering Managers for around 30 minutes to discuss the team, our projects and your career history.

  3. Stage 3 – A technical test (at home), and we’ll review your solution and approach to it.

  4. Stage 4 – The final main stage, where we’ll meet you for 1 hour, and you’ll get to spend time with different members of the engineering team including the Engineering Manager and the Principal Engineer.

    We’ll also go through your technical test and ask questions on some of your design decisions, architectural and technical implementation.

  5. Stage 5 – 30-minute discussion with Head of Architecture & Engineering.
