We need a team-player 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 key role in developing and running a complex multi-environment SaaS product compromised of 70+ git repos using modern microservice backend built in Typescript / NodeJS / Docker on AWS and automated CI/CD pipelines released onto terraform-provisioned infrastructure.

  • Work closely within a cross-functional team and the wider team, with a focus on working together to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Roll up your sleeves and take the initiative to tackle critical challenges during high-stakes situations.

    What we're looking for...

    • Demonstrable experience as a backend developer with NodeJS and Typescript
    • Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
    • Experience of working in an Agile setting, delivering product features at pace
    • 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 Team-Player: You work effectively in a team whilst retaining responsibility for your individual deliveries

    What you can expect from us...
