Lead TypeScript Backend Engineer

We are looking for a talented Lead TypeScript Backend Engineer to join a senior-level team building and scaling high-performance backend systems for complex data tooling. We are an agile, high-impact team (operating like a startup but backed by a global company) reimagining spreadsheets and inventing the next generation of business-critical data tools.

Job Duties

• Build and scale backend systems supporting a spreadsheet-like interface and various data integrations.
• Optimize high-performance systems for large data sets and scalability.
• Take full, end-to-end ownership of features from design and implementation to launch and support.
• Translate functional requirements into clean, performant, and maintainable code.
• Influence technical architecture, infrastructure, and engineering best practices.
• Collaborate closely with DevOps and product teams to deliver features.

Ideal Background

• Strong backend expertise with TypeScript (Node.js), Postgres, and Redis.
• Proven experience in fast-paced startup environments (Seed through Series B), prioritizing agility and ownership.
• Background working on large data sets or complex spreadsheet-like interfaces (this is not a simple CRUD application role).
• A proactive mindset with comfort handling ambiguity and driving progress.
• Ability to demonstrate end-to-end ownership of features and technical design.
• Track record of writing clean, highly performant code while moving quickly.

Why Us

• Flexible working hours and remote-first (UK-based) location with an optional London office.
• Option to work from abroad for up to 90 days.
• Opportunity to take sabbaticals for personal growth, travel, or family.
• Dedicated time and budget for learning and development.
• Continuous feedback to support your career goals.
• Paid volunteer time to support causes you care about.
• Comprehensive health and wellness programs, including mental health support.
• Generous leave policy.
• Company pension plan/allowances.
• Subsidized bikes and corporate discounts.
• A culture of kindness, integrity, and collaboration.
