Work closely with Product, Delivery, and Technical Leads to refine requirements and deliver iteratively
Mentor junior engineers and conduct code reviews to maintain quality and consistency
Help drive best practices across DevOps, CI/CD, observability, and secure coding
Collaborate with other squads to ensure technical alignment across the platform

What you’ll need:

Strong full stack experience with a backend-first mindset
Expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, React, and modern cloud engineering
Hands-on experience with AWS serverless, particularly Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB
Solid understanding of scalable architecture and performance optimisation
Experience in scale ups, startups, or SMEs where speed, ownership, and adaptability matter
Strong debugging, problem solving, and delivery skills
Interest in or experience with AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot)
Comfortable working in agile squads and contributing across the full SDLC

What’s on offer:

£70,000 to £80,000 per annum
Fully remote working across the UK
Modern AI-first engineering environment
Real ownership and impact in a growing product-led team
Opportunity to shape tooling, workflow, and engineering standards
Clear progression path into Technical Lead
Collaborative culture with a focus on high-quality engineering and continuous improvement

If you’re a hands-on engineer who enjoys building scalable backend systems, working cloud-first, and embracing AI-assisted development, this is a great opportunity to join a fast-moving team solving meaningful technical challenges.
