Description
Purpose of the Position
As Senior Software Engineer, you will take ownership of designing, building and operating scalable, high-quality systems within our award‑winning marketing platform. You will play a key role in shaping technical direction, influencing engineering practices, and driving improvements across the team and wider organisation.
You are a highly experienced and pragmatic technologist with a strong product mindset, able to balance technical excellence with business impact. You actively mentor others and contribute to raising the overall engineering bar.
The Team
You will be joining our Tracking tribe, a cross functional team at the core of the business, responsible for building and evolving Awin’s tracking platform, the backbone of our affiliate marketing network.
Tracking is critical to how Awin operates: it ensures accurate attribution, reliable reporting, and partner trust across advertisers and publishers.
Key tasks and responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end delivery and operation of features and services.
- Design, build, and evolve scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.
- Lead technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions.
- Improve existing applications, reduce technical debt, and strengthen reliability.
- Collaborate with Product Managers to turn business needs into technical solutions.
- Identify and address technical risks, performance issues, and scalability challenges.
- Champion engineering quality through testing, code reviews, tooling, and best practices.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and support system resilience.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to the team’s technical growth.
- Improve team processes across planning, delivery, and retrospectives.
- Collaborate effectively with local and remote teams across the organisation.
Whilst the above outlines the general expectations of the role, we expect this position to evolve over time, offering opportunities to gain deeper knowledge and experience within the online and affiliate marketing domain.

- Experience with observability tools, metric dashboards, alerting, and operational monitoring.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
-
