The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Developer with deep Node.js and TypeScript experience to join our vehicle telematics division – a rapidly growing area central to our long-term vision.
This is not a "code monkey" role. You’ll be a hands-on technical leader, shaping the evolution of a complex, multi-environment SaaS platform spanning 70+ Git repositories and built on a modern microservices architecture. Expect cutting-edge technologies – AWS, Docker, automated CI/CD, and Terraform-provisioned infrastructure – with plenty of room to both lead and learn.
Your Day-to-Day:
* Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable backend systems using Node.js and TypeScript
* Uphold technical quality while delivering pragmatic solutions to real-world problems
* Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure features meet user and business needs
* Mentor and support junior engineers, sharing knowledge and raising the bar
* Guide the team through complex technical challenges with creativity and grit
* Engage in Agile ceremonies, improve ways of working, and help steer the team’s direction
Your Tech Stack:
* Languages & Tools: Node.js, TypeScript, Mocha, Sinon
* Infrastructure & DevOps: Docker, Terraform, Git, GitLab CI/CD
* Cloud & Services: AWS (ECS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Firehose, S3, SQS, SNS)
* Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL
What We’re Looking For:
* Solid commercial experience as a back-end developer
* Strong problem-solving skills and a critical thinker’s mindset
* Ability to take full ownership of your work – from concept to deployment
* Practical understanding of microservices, containerisation, and cloud-native architectures
* Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile environments
* Excellent communication skills and a drive to lead, not just contribute
Who You Are:
* Proactive: You take initiative and deliver without waiting for instructions
* Resilient: You stay cool under pressure and turn obstacles into solutions
* A Driver: You push projects and teams forward with energy and clarity
* Collaborative but Confident: You’re a team player who’s not afraid to stand by good decisions
What You’ll Get in Return:
* A supportive, ambitious culture built on innovation and trust
* A rapidly growing environment where your impact will be felt
* Opportunities to work on forward-thinking projects in a dynamic space
* A hybrid working model and flexibility to suit your lifestyle
* Competitive salary, bonus potential, and a comprehensive benefits package
