Our roadmap includes a combination of greenfield projects and the continuous enhancement of our existing applications with the latest technologies and architectures. The team has grown significantly, and we’ve reorganized into smaller agile squads, each managing their own workstreams and taking ownership of the business domains they serve.

Applications developed by our team are used by over 30,000 colleagues across the business, making scalability and resilience a top priority. We’ve fully adopted continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), which helps us release code confidently and efficiently into production.

• Work on greenfield projects, extend existing features, and build towards a micro-app and micro-service platform
• Drive automation to speed up the delivery of new features
• Participate in our agile practices: stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and design/planning sessions
• Implement solutions using Microsoft Azure infrastructure, including CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
