Fulcrum Digital
is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to anchor the technical direction of a
full-stack product team building cloud-native applications on Google Cloud
Platform. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will architect and build
across the stack in Java/Python and React, set engineering standards, and mentor a
squad of engineers while staying close to the code.

You will work
alongside product, design and client stakeholders to translate business goals
into resilient, scalable solutions — and act as a strategic technical partner
rather than an order-taker. This role suits an engineer who enjoys owning
outcomes end to end, from architecture through to production reliability.

Technical leadership &
architecture

•    Solution design — Own the end-to-end
architecture of cloud-native applications on GCP, balancing performance, cost,
security and maintainability.

•    Standards — Design, develop, and optimize queries and analytics using BigQuery for reporting and data insights.
Manage deployments, monitoring, and troubleshooting in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

•    Decisions — Make and document key
technical decisions, weighing trade-offs transparently for stakeholders.

Hands-on delivery

•    Full-stack build — Design and build
backend services and APIs in Java (Spring Boot)/Python, and modern, responsive
front-ends in React.

•    Cloud delivery — Deploy, monitor and
optimise workloads on GCP using managed services, containers and CI/CD
pipelines. Work with GCP services such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, API Gateway, BigQuery, or equivalent services based on project requirements.

•    Quality — Contribute production-quality
code, conduct code reviews, and uphold test coverage and quality gates.

People & collaboration

•    Mentorship — Mentor and grow a squad of
mid and junior engineers; provide technical coaching and career guidance.

•    Stakeholders — Partner with product
owners, designers and client stakeholders to shape scope and sequence delivery.

•    Delivery — Support estimation, sprint
planning and risk management as part of an agile delivery team.

Requirements

We expect a strong, hands-on engineer with a proven track
record of leading full-stack teams in a cloud-first environment.

•    GCP Professional certification (Cloud Architect
or Cloud Developer).

•    Experience with event-driven or serverless
architectures at scale.

•    Exposure to observability tooling (Cloud
Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

•    Familiarity with domain-driven design and
API-first / contract-first development.

•    Prior experience in a consulting or
client-facing delivery environment.

•    Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer
Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
