Want to build systems that talk to millions of customers — and actually make those conversations smarter?
At Checkatrade, we’re on a mission to make home improvement simple, trusted, and fair. Behind the scenes, that means powerful CRM and marketing platforms that help us communicate with homeowners and trades at exactly the right moment.
As a Senior Software Engineer in our CRM Engineering team, you’ll be right at the centre of that mission. You’ll design and build the services that power our customer communications, marketing automation, and data-driven engagement — working closely with Marketing, Product, and Data to turn ideas into impact.
This role is perfect for a well-rounded, full-stack engineer who enjoys variety: a mix of roadmap-driven development, hands-on problem solving, and shaping how we use technology for smarter, more personalised experiences.
