Job description

Senior Backend Engineer - Node/TypeScript - Remote - £80,000 - £95,000

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to work on a product which is revolutionising the way in which software engineers manage an existing codebase!

Tell me about the role

You’ll be joining the team as a Senior Backend Engineer – working within a team of four developers. One of these will be a mid-level engineer who you’ll be working closely with & mentoring towards their senior promotion. That will probably take up around 5-10% of your time though, with the rest being spent getting stuck into a range of projects to support their growth.

One of the main things you’ll be working on is setting up & managing a number of complex integrations with external platforms, to ensure the product is available to as many users as possible. Your role will have a big focus on system design & architecture – so hopefully this is something you’re comfortable with!

The stack you’ll be working with includes: Node.js, TypeScript, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub etc

It’s worth noting that this will be a purely backend focused role, as their teams are currently split between FE & BE!

Tell me about the business

Their product is used by some huge technology businesses to help them reduce the time it takes to find & resolve issues within existing codebases. It integrates with all of the key project management & code editing tools which makes it incredibly accessible.

They’ve just gone through a funding round at the start of 2022 & are aiming to go through Series A by the end of the year too! The team is ten in size currently but they’re looking to increase this to 15 during the year.

They operate on a fully remote basis & are happy to hire anyone who lives within a 2-3hr timezone of the UK! Quarterly social meetups mean that you get some facetime with your colleagues & it’s always in a really nice European city too!

What experience do I need?

  • You’ll need extensive experience building complex services in Node.js/TypeScript
  • Experience navigating event-driven architecture
  • You need to have worked for a product business previously!

What’s in it for me?

As well as a base salary of £80,000 - £95,000 DOE, you’ll get access to incredibly generous stock options, a full home office budget, private health insurance & much more!
