About the Role:
We’re looking for a Software Engineer with experience in Delphi to help support and modernise our core business systems. You’ll be working on applications that play a central role in how we operate day-to-day, maintaining existing functionality while helping to improve and evolve the platform over time.
This is a hands-on role focused on problem-solving and practical delivery. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and cross-functional teams to design, build and maintain software that’s reliable, well-documented and ready for what’s next.
If you want to work somewhere where your experience is valued, your input shapes the future, and you're trusted to get things done — we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, develop and maintain software applications using Delphi (and SAP SQL Anywhere)
- Lead the re-engineering of legacy systems into scalable, maintainable solutions
- Collaborate with product owners, analysts, and engineers across teams to define and implement improvements
- Write unit tests and debug applications to ensure stability and performance
- Document your work and contribute to shared technical knowledge
- Review code, mentor junior developers, and promote engineering best practices
Must Have Skills and Experience:
- Proven experience developing with Delphi in a commercial environment
- Strong understanding of SQL and relational databases (ideally SAP SQL Anywhere)
- Experience working across the full software development lifecycle
- Ability to work independently in a remote-first setup
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
Beneficial:
- Background in mentoring or technical leadership
- Familiarity with Agile ways of working
- Broader programming experience outside of Delphi
Interview Process:
- Intro call with our Talent Team (30 Mins)
- Technical interview with our Transitional Enablement Team (MS Teams - 60 Mins)
- Final conversation with the team or department lead (MS Teams - 60 Mins)
