We’re hiring a Backend Software Engineer to help power a next-gen digital platform built on MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless). This isn’t a side project. This platform supports 50+ websites and mobile apps used at scale across the UK and beyond.

• Integrating with headless CMS, e-commerce platforms & payment providers
• Translating business ideas into real, resilient architecture
• Driving quality through CI/CD, automation & DevOps best practice

• TypeScript & Node.js
• Microservices architecture
• GraphQL / REST APIs
• SQL or NoSQL databases
