🚀 Backend / Infrastructure Engineer — London
I’m working with a small, high-calibre Series A product company building developer-facing software used by millions globally.
They’re hiring a Backend / Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of the systems behind the product, improve release reliability, and help scale the platform as they enter their next stage of growth.
This is roughly 2/3 backend engineering and 1/3 platform/infrastructure — so ideal for someone who enjoys building production systems, but also cares about deployment, observability, CI/CD, and making engineering teams faster.
You’ll be working on:
• Backend services, APIs, data flows, and production systems
• Release safety, versioning, testing, rollbacks, and deployment reliability
• Infrastructure, observability, monitoring, and incident response
• Tooling and documentation that helps product engineers ship faster
• Systems that support both end-users and developer customers
What they’re looking for:
• Strong TypeScript / Node.js experience
• Solid backend and systems design ability
• Hands-on experience operating production systems
• CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring/alerting, and reliability experience
• Strong ownership, pragmatic decision-making, and clear communication
• Someone comfortable working in a small, fast-moving engineering team
Nice to have:
• Early-stage / founding engineer experience
• Developer tools, SDK, real-time collaboration, or local-first software experience
• Cloudflare experience — not essential, but strongly preferred
• Experience building infrastructure for products used by both users and developers
• Open-source or developer community involvement
This would suit someone who likes high ownership, technical depth, and building the kind of backend/platform foundations that let great product teams move quickly.
