• Troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems and serverless environments.
• Apply TDD and design patterns to produce reliable, maintainable, high-quality software.
• Translate business and functional requirements into elegant technical solutions.

 

What We’re Looking For

• Ideally 7+ years’ software engineering experience with a focus on back-end or full-stack development.
• Ideally 5+ years’ experience building applications on AWS, ideally with serverless architectures (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway).
• Strong skills in TypeScript (JavaScript or Go also beneficial).
• Experience with Node.js and event-driven or microservice-based architectures.
• Proficiency with CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins, Git, Docker) and IaC tools (Terraform or CloudFormation).
• Deep understanding of Agile software delivery, DevOps culture, and automation.
• Experience with unit testing, TDD, and established design patterns.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Desirable: Experience with AWS OpenSearch and/or AWS certifications.
• Desirable: Experience working in a Retail / eCommerce / Online / Web based company.

 

Why Apply?

• Fully remote role – work from anywhere in the UK
• Opportunity to shape large-scale, cloud-native software systems
• Collaborative, inclusive, and forward-thinking engineering culture
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Must be a UK resident with current right to work (no sponsorship available)
