Job Description

About the role

Join the Engineering Enablement team at the heart of Quote Modernisation the most significant engineering transformations Quote has undertaken in recent years. Quote is the mission-critical pricing and promotions platform serving over 28 million UK shoppers every week across every channel, from tills to websites, with global reach on the horizon.

Our current monolithic architecture and ageing technology stack are significant barriers to productivity, stability, and innovation. We’re fixing that. The Quote Modernisation programme is built on five strategic pillars: architectural modernisation, technology stack revitalisation, quality and resilience, delivery acceleration, and engineering excellence. We’re aiming for 2–3x improvement in our ability to design, build, and release new product capabilities.

The Engineering Enablement team is central to this transformation. Operating under an ‘Enablement First’ principle, we lay the foundations before the broader teams build on them. That means creating the Micronaut application template, standardised logging and metrics libraries, feature flagging infrastructure, and quality gates that other engineers depend on daily. We work collaboratively across Retail and Technology to make sure we only build components that genuinely add value.

This role sits at the intersection of core Java engineering and developer experience. You’ll write high-quality production Java, but you’ll also care deeply about the experience of engineers building on what you create. That means investing in the clarity of our tooling, the speed of feedback loops, the robustness of our CI/CD pipeline, and how easy it is for a new engineer to be productive from day one.
