Senior or Mid Level Developer

Mid or Senior Software Engineer (Backend-leaning)

Mostly remote | Bristol (1 day a week ideally)

I'm working with a down-to-earth, product-led company that gives its engineers real autonomy, not just to ship code, but to shape how the platform is built.

I'm looking to speak with experienced engineers who have a strong focus on clean code, testability, and engineering best practice.

This is not a "ticket-factory" role - you'll be trusted to make technical decisions, improve the platform, and influence how things are done

The role

You'll be hands-on across the Back End, helping to rewrite and modernise a Legacy PHP platform into a TypeScript-based, Node.js, service-driven architecture.

You'll also play a key part in setting engineering standards and supporting more junior developers.

You should be someone who knows what good looks like - in code, architecture, testing, and delivery - and can communicate that clearly to others.

What really matters

This team is open to different tech backgrounds, but these are non-negotiable:

Must-have

• Strong TypeScript experience (this is the core language)
• Backend-leaning mindset (APIs, services, data, not just UI)
• Test-Driven Development (TDD) or strong automated testing discipline
• A solid understanding of engineering best practice (clean code, separation of concerns, maintainability, scalability)

Nice to have

• Node.js
• AWS, MongoDB, or modern cloud-native platforms
• GitHub, CI/CD
• Experience with PHP or modernising Legacy systems
• Data-heavy, time-series, or IoT-style platforms

This is a true greenfield rebuild backed by real investment.

You get the pace and impact of a start-up, but with stability, runway, and leadership that cares about doing things properly.
