We are looking for a seasoned full-stack engineer who enjoys systems design, integration complexity, and intelligent workflow

automation. You will join our Global Automation & Business Platforms programme and take ownership of designing, building, and

refining production-grade solutions — both as standalone products and as integrations within our core Hero portfolio.

Day-to-day you will architect event-driven pipelines, build Python and React services, wire together enterprise APIs, and make

smart engineering decisions on frameworks and data models.

What you'll be doing:

Solution Design & Delivery

Design and develop full-stack solutions (Python back-end, React front-end) that integrate with portfolio products or run as

standalone platforms.

Architect service-to-service integration patterns: synchronous APIs, event queues, webhook pipelines, and scheduled batch

processes.

Build and maintain FastAPI services with clear contracts, versioning, and observability from day one.

Workflow & Automation Engineering

Implement sophisticated multi-step automation workflows that coordinate actions across enterprise systems — document

management, CRM, HR, finance, and media platforms.

Build integrations between internal data sources, third-party APIs, and cloud platform services (Azure, GCP).

Quality, Governance & Documentation

Build evaluation and testing frameworks so that every automated workflow is measurable, auditable, and improvable.
Work closely with the Engineering Lead to define governance standards: access control, audit logging, safe defaults, and

compliance guardrails.

Maintain thorough technical documentation — architecture diagrams, runbooks, API specs, and decision records.

Collaboration

Operate within an Agile Kanban team, taking stories from backlog refinement through to production deployment.
Act as the technical bridge between business stakeholders and engineering: translating requirements into pragmatic designs and

communicating trade-offs clearly.

Support other automation delivery teams across WPP with technical guidance and code reviews.

What you'll need:

Essential

7–9 years of professional software engineering experience, with Python as the primary back-end language.
Strong React / TypeScript front-end skills — you can build and own the full vertical, not just the API layer.
Solid FastAPI or equivalent Python API framework experience; you know how to structure a production service.
Proven experience designing and operating event-driven or pipeline architectures (queues, schedulers, webhooks, streaming).
Comfortable working across cloud platforms — Azure and/or GCP — including managed services for compute, storage, and

messaging.

Experience integrating with enterprise identity, directory, and SaaS APIs (Microsoft 365 ecosystem is a strong advantage).
Hands-on experience building search or retrieval-augmented systems: embedding pipelines, vector databases, semantic indexing.
Solid understanding of evaluation and testing practices for complex, non-deterministic systems.
Agile practitioner — comfortable in Kanban or Scrum, familiar with backlog management, sprint ceremonies, and incremental

delivery.

Excellent written and verbal English; you document your work and communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical

stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot Studio or Power Platform.
Exposure to enterprise-grade governance patterns: RBAC, audit trails, policy-as-code.

Certifications

Mandatory (required in first 30 days)

Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102)

Desirable / Required within 3 months

GitHub Copilot (GH-300)
Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900)

Scale and opportunity – We offer the opportunity to create, influence and complete projects at a scale that is unparalleled in the
