About the Role

We are looking for a backend specialist who loves the intersection of stability and scalability. Your focus will not be on a title, but on the impact of your code.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain robust microservices that ensure seamless communication between internal and external environments.
Take full ownership of features from a raw idea to a production-ready deployment.
Contribute to our technical roadmap by questioning the status quo and proposing scalable solutions.
Implement and refine authentication and authorisation flows (OAuth, Auth0) to keep our systems safe and accessible.
Ensure our data layer is lean and fast, applying deep knowledge of SQL and PostgreSQL to solve complex data challenges.

Requirements

You can write clean, maintainable, and type-safe code that thrives in a production environment.
You understand how to design efficient database schemas and optimise them for performance (PostgreSQL).
You know how to leverage ORMs effectively, understanding exactly when they help and when they get in the way.
Automated testing (jest/mocha) isn't a chore for you—it's the only way to ship with confidence.
You are comfortable with Docker, Git, and the general flow of modern CI/CD pipelines.
Experience navigating the AWS ecosystem or monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or Graylog.
A track record of mentoring peers or leading the technical direction of a project.
A degree in Computer Science or a self-taught journey evidenced by a strong portfolio.
A portfolio, a side project or a demo repo – something that shows us how you approach technical challenges and turn ideas into working solutions.
