About the Role
Build an enabled Engineering community at NewDay. We’re building our Engineering Enablement team and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys solving problems that make other engineers more effective. Rather than focusing on a single customer-facing product, you’ll build the internal tools, services and platform capabilities that help engineering teams deliver safely and quickly. You’ll have scope to influence a developing roadmap, identify opportunities to improve how we engineer software, and turn those ideas into practical solutions. This is a hands-on senior engineering role. You’ll write and ship software while also leading complex work end to end, collaborating with engineering leadership, mentoring others and helping shape better engineering practices. You’ll also have opportunities to explore how AI-enabled development tools improve engineering effectiveness when used thoughtfully and responsibly.
How you'll contribute
Design, build and ship high-quality software, including internal developer tools and shared platform capabilities that make engineers more productive. Lead complex engineering work from idea to delivery, identifying problems, evaluating solutions and bringing the right people together to deliver improvements. Help shape resilient engineering foundations, contributing to architecture, CI/CD, observability, documentation and maintainable technical solutions. Support other engineers to succeed, through mentoring, technical discussions, thoughtful reviews and clear documentation.
Why join this team?
You’ll be joining as the Engineering Enablement team is being built, so this is an opportunity to influence what it becomes rather than simply inherit a fixed roadmap. At NewDay, we value all types of diversity. We’re an equal opportunity employer and believe that our differences create a vibrant, authentic working culture. We want all our colleagues to feel able to bring their whole selves to work. We don’t discriminate on the basis of protected characteristics or identities. We make sure that every job is crafted to be inclusive and that people with disabilities or caring responsibilities can take part in the application and interview process. Reasonable adjustments will be put in place to support you if needed.
Experience
Strong hands-on experience with C# and .NET or TypeScript, including building and designing REST APIs. Experience writing and maintaining automated tests throughout the software development lifecycle, alongside strong continuous integration and continuous delivery practices. The ability to contribute to system and architecture decisions, with a focus on resilience, scalability and maintainability. Experience taking significant engineering work from idea through to delivery, working autonomously while bringing stakeholders and other engineers with you. Strong communication and an enabler mindset: you can explain technical decisions clearly, create useful documentation, mentor others and enjoy building tools or services that make engineers' jobs easier. Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or Claude, understanding their value and limitations.
About you
Thoughtful and collaborative engineer who enjoys mentoring and supporting others. Enthusiastic about improving engineering effectiveness and practices. Comfortable working in a developing team environment and influencing technical direction. Open to exploring new technologies and approaches, including AI-enabled development tools.
Qualifications
It would be useful, but not essential, to have experience with Microsoft Azure or another Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud environment. Experience building internal developer tooling, shared engineering services or reusable platform capabilities. Knowledge of observability, metrics, data analysis or shared engineering tooling. Familiarity with event-driven architectures or working across multiple programming languages. Experience contributing to engineering standards, technical direction across teams, or supporting recruitment and onboarding of engineers.
