This role offers the opportunity to work as part of a fast-paced product and engineering team, contributing to the design and development of scalable backend services. The successful candidate will take ownership of features from initial conception through to deployment, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and performant solutions. Instead of merely executing development tickets, this position encourages proactive involvement in improving backend systems and development practices, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
The role involves designing and developing server-side applications using NodeJS and TypeScript, building and maintaining microservices, and working within established development, documentation, and deployment processes. Collaboration within an Agile environment is essential, as is a passion for writing clean, efficient, and testable code. The position offers a fully remote working arrangement, providing flexibility and the chance to work with modern technologies in a supportive and collaborative setting.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess significant commercial experience in server-side development, with a strong proficiency in NodeJS and TypeScript. Experience working within microservices architectures is essential, along with a solid understanding of unit and integration testing methodologies. Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases is required, as is knowledge of CI/CD principles to facilitate continuous integration and deployment processes.
Additional beneficial skills include experience with NestJS, cloud platforms such as AWS or similar, message brokers like Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, or NATS, and familiarity with gRPC and OAuth2 / AWS Cognito. The candidate should demonstrate a proactive attitude, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative team environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop scalable server-side applications using NodeJS and TypeScript, ensuring high performance and reliability.
- Take ownership of backend features from initial design through to production deployment, managing the full development lifecycle.

- Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to uphold software quality and reliability standards.
- Adhere to established development, documentation, and deployment processes to ensure consistency and maintainability.
- Contribute to the improvement of coding standards, engineering practices, and overall system architecture.
- Collaborate effectively within an Agile team, participating in sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Stay updated with emerging technologies and industry best practices, recommending improvements to backend systems and workflows.
Our client offers a competitive salary package commensurate with experience, along with flexible remote working arrangements to support work-life balance. Employees will have access to ongoing professional development opportunities, including training and certifications, to enhance their skills.
