Senior Backend Developer – Hybrid | c. £70,000
Are you an experienced Backend Developer who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment? We’re working with a well-established, privately owned online travel business currently undergoing a major digital transformation — and they’re now looking to bring in a talented developer to help shape the next phase of their technology journey.
What You’ll Be Doing:
You’ll take the lead on rebuilding a high-volume pricing platform, modernising legacy systems, and designing the backend architecture that underpins the business. This role will suit someone who’s confident working with large datasets, complex system structures, and designing scalable, maintainable services from the ground up. While the focus is very much on the backend, you’ll occasionally support the front-end team to ensure smooth integration and end-to-end delivery.
Key Responsibilities:
* Rebuild and modernise existing systems with minimal PHP maintenance
* Design and develop backend services using C# and PostgreSQL
* Optimise and support large-scale data sets and complex architectures
* Collaborate on front-end features with Node.js and React when required
* Contribute to Python-based AI content projects
* Apply DevOps knowledge to build scalable, reliable systems (Docker, AWS)
* Take ownership of projects from concept to delivery within a flat, agile team
What You’ll Need:
* Proven backend development experience (C# preferred), with strong PostgreSQL knowledge
* Experience designing system architecture and working with large, transactional data sets
* Comfortable contributing to front-end work (Node/React) in a full-stack environment
* Solid DevOps skills: Linux command line, Docker, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines
* Familiarity with Git and modern dev workflows
* Proactive, self-driven mindset and an ability to adapt to evolving tech
Why Apply?
* Hybrid working: 2 days in-office (just outside Canterbury), 3 days remote
* Involvement in a business-critical digital transformation
* Interesting, varied project work in a progressive, no-ego team
