Senior Backend Developer – Node.js, SaaS, Scale-up – Remote (UK or Europe) – £75,000 to £100,000 – Ref: JB63
We have a new opportunity for Senior Backend Developer to join an award-winning SaaS scale up. The successful candidate will be joining a new squad within the product team who make up 50% of the business.
You and the team will be responsible for rebuilding the current distribution system. At present it is written in Ruby on Rails, and they are looking to replace it with Node.js. You do not need any prior experience with Ruby, but you must be willing to jump into a ruby codebase to resolve issues and understand it to port code over.
Skills, knowledge and Experience required:
- You must have a few years’ experience as a senior engineer in a product focused role, utilising Node.js & TypeScript.
- You should be comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and their integration with the development processes
- Any experience with NestJS, MongoDB, GraphQL, AWS, Kafka, Docker and / or Kubernetes would be a real plus
They are big fans of automation testing. The ideal candidate will be passionate about writing well designed and tested code with a strong preference for TDD and Pair programming.
If successful, you will be joining a lively, collaborative, bright and diverse team where you will be given the opportunity to have a real impact on application architecture, as well as contributing to the global scaling of an established scale-up.
This is a permanent role, not a B2B contract. You can be based anywhere within the UK or Europe, but you must be a tax resident with full right to work in that location.
