The role of Backend Engineer is important to us.
Due to continued growth and expansion, we are looking for a Backend Developer with Elixir and Ruby experience to join our talented development team in our vehicle telematics business, Radius Telematics.
Telematics is a big growth area for us, so there will be plenty of opportunity to keep your skills up to date and progress your career. We need someone who can balance technical excellence with pragmatic execution, ensuring our product evolves while meeting the demands of today’s challenges. We embrace an Agile way of working, but we know success also requires grit, ownership, and a willingness to step beyond conventional roles.
Specifically, you will play a role in developing and running a complex multi-environment Telematics product using modern microservice backends built in Ruby and Elixir on AWS and automated CI/CD pipelines released onto terraform-provisioned infrastructure. There will be opportunities to learn as well as using your own experience to influence the team and platform.
Your tech stack will be...
- Ruby / Elixir
- AWS (EC2, S3, Glacier, SQS, Lambda)
- GraphQL, Sentry, Datadog, RabbitMQ
- Databases – MongoDB
What you'll be doing...
- Design, build, and maintain scalable and secure backend systems using Ruby and Elixir, ideally with some experience in Go (not essential).
- Work closely within a cross-functional team and the wider team, with a focus on working together to achieve desired outcomes.
- Lead by example, stepping in to guide the team through challenging situations with persistence and creative problem-solving.
- Support and mentor junior developers, sharing expertise and fostering a culture of growth and excellence.
- Roll up your sleeves and take the initiative to tackle critical challenges during high-stakes situations.
What we're looking for...
- Significant commercial experience as a backend developer
- Critical thinker and problem-solving skills
- Ability to take ownership of projects from design to implementation
- Actively contribute to Agile events, inspect and adapt ways of working, and provide solutions to keep development on track
- Proactive: You don’t wait for direction; you identify what needs to be done and take action.
- Resilient: Challenges don’t deter you—they energise you.
- A Driver: You’re not just a contributor—you push the product and team forward with determination and a solutions-first mindset.
- Collaborative Yet Assertive: You work well in teams but know when to stand your ground and advocate for the right approach.
What you can expect from us...
Your impact on Radius will be rewarded with the opportunity to develop and progress your career in many directions.
You’ll also have access to our competitive reward and benefits package, which includes:
- Pension
