Senior Backend Engineer Remote across UK & Europe

This isnt maintenance work or fixing spaghetti left by the last engineer. Its new product build.
Youll be delivering features, reducing tech debt, and shaping the backend foundations for a platform taking on the likes of Oracle, NetSuite and Xero.
They already have the design and frontend nailed. What they need now are backend engineers who can bring structure, high standards, and a bit of backbone. The stack is Kotlin on AWS, but if youve used any OO language (Java, Python, Ruby, C#, PHP) and are open to learning, thats fine. Theres a monolith (by design), organised into modules.
Youll join a 20-person engineering team thats currently levelling up its structure, introducing proper processes, and looking to hire another three backend devs this year. Its remote first, with 90% of the team across Europe, and youll actually have autonomy to get work done.
