Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the hands-on development of infrastructure and features for a new audio platform while mentoring junior engineers. You will contribute to architectural decisions and champion DevOps practices to ensure secure, scalable, and high-performing systems.
Requires solid full-stack engineering experience with proficiency in Node/TypeScript, React, Java, and cloud technologies like AWS and Kubernetes. Candidates should have a proven track record of mentoring others and working within a product-led, agile environment.
Our Team: How We Enrich Everyday Life
You’ll be joining Bauer Media Audio (BMA), Europe’s biggest commercial audio broadcaster, connecting audiences across nine markets to the music, stories and experiences they love. Bauer Media Audio is making a significant investment in a new in‑house software engineering hub in Manchester. This new hub reinforces Manchester’s position as a key technology centre for Bauer Media Audio, alongside its existing locations. We’re creating a new engineering team to build innovative business-critical solutions that will power Bauer Media’s audio platform of the future. Our team is built around squads, each aligned to a distinct value stream, with a layer of cross-squad roles – people whose expertise and support spans the whole team. Each squad will be led by a Product Manager and Lead Engineer, working in partnership and jointly accountable for their squad's work and outcomes. Squads are intentionally small – typically around five to six engineers – keeping them focused, collaborative, and able to move quickly. Our team thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, scalable solutions, working closely with product and technology peers to ensure our platforms meet the evolving needs of the business and our international markets.
The Difference You Will Make
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in laying the technical foundations of this new engineering team. You’ll lead hands-on development of infrastructure and prototyping work, mentor engineers, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver secure, resilient, and high-performing systems.
Working closely with your squad, you will ensure the squad's work aligns with our technical direction and product priorities, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, shared ownership, and engineering excellence. You will play a key role in helping to create a diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment that is psychologically safe, where everyone can be their authentic selves and do their best work, every day.
Your Role
Build and deliver
Develop and maintain features and services across the platform, taking end-to-end ownership of your work from design through to deployment.
Contribute to early-stage prototyping and infrastructure work, helping to shape the foundations of the platform.
Shape technical direction
Contribute to architectural decisions within your squad, sharing your experience and perspective to inform technical choices.
Collaborate with your Lead Engineer and product colleagues to ensure your work aligns with the squad's technical direction and delivery goals.
Mentor and support
Support the growth of junior engineers through code review, pairing, and knowledge sharing — helping to build a team where everyone improves together.
Play your part in growing the team — contributing to interviews and helping new engineers get up to speed quickly.
Champion quality and operational excellence
Champion DevOps practices, CI/CD, and a culture of automation and observability as a natural part of how you build.
Lead on testing strategies and uphold security standards day to day.
Participate in incident management rotas, providing hands-on technical support and clear communication during high-pressure situations.
What We Are Looking For
Experience of some but not necessarily all of the following:
Technical capability
Solid hands-on engineering experience, with active proficiency across frontend and backend development – enough to lead by example and contribute to technical decisions.
Familiarity with our core stack: Node/TypeScript, React, Java, AWS, Kubernetes, and Kafka – or a comparable modern stack with the appetite to move across technologies.
Knowledge of microservices, APIs, and cloud-based deployment.
CI/CD, containerisation, and modern DevOps practices applied as part of everyday delivery.
Security best practices embedded in day-to-day development.
An interest in AI-assisted development tooling and how it can improve productivity and code quality.
Collaboration and communication
Experience mentoring engineers and supporting their growth, with an awareness of how to adapt your approach to different people and experience levels.
Strong communication skills – able to collaborate across disciplines and articulate technical ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues.
A habit of documenting decisions and sharing knowledge across the team.
Industry and delivery experience
Experience working in a product-led, agile software delivery environment.
Incident management experience or familiarity with on-call responsibilities.
Media, audio streaming, or consumer platform experience is a plus.
Working Pattern and Location
This is a permanent, hybrid, full-time role with an in-office presence twice a week in our Manchester hub. Like all roles in the team, this one includes participation in incident management rotas – we schedule these collaboratively, taking into account everyone's responsibilities and commitments outside of work.
The chance to work in a team building platforms that reach millions of listeners across Europe, with real impact on the products people use every day.
A growing engineering organisation investing heavily in its people, practices, and technology – with genuine support for skills development.
A collaborative, product-led environment where engineering has a clear and respected voice in shaping business outcomes.
An environment that values empathy, accountability, continuous learning, and engineering excellence.
