You will work across the stack, building robust back-end systems in TypeScript, Node.js, and PHP, and delivering high-quality front-end experiences using modern JavaScript frameworks. The role requires expertise in database design, DevOps, cryptographic data handling, and AWS cloud technologies.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, develop, and maintain backend services using TypeScript, Node.js, and PHP 8.1+ and modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, or similar).
* Build and integrate cryptographic export and data protection components ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
* Develop and optimise RESTful and GraphQL APIs consumed by web and mobile applications.
* Design efficient data models and queries for MySQL (Aurora) and DynamoDB.
* Implement secure authentication and authorisation mechanisms (e.g., JWT, OAuth2, API keys, AWS SigV4).
* Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines using AWS CDK, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar.
* Manage deployments across Dev, Staging, and Production environments using modern DevOps workflows.
* Monitor, log, and optimize system performance with CloudWatch, X-Ray, or equivalent tools.
* Collaborate closely with QA, Security, and Platform teams to maintain robust, secure, and compliant systems.
* Write clean, modular, and well-documented code; participate in peer reviews and agile sprint planning.
Technical Skills
* Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript (ES2020+), and Node.js runtime internals.
* Experience with PHP 8.1+ (preferably Yii2 or Laravel frameworks).
* Solid front-end development experience with React, Next.js, Vue, or Svelte.
* Advanced SQL knowledge with MySQL/Aurora, including schema design and query optimisation.
* Experience designing and maintaining AWS DynamoDB schemas and indexes.
* Familiarity with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFormation/CDK, S3, ECS, CloudFront, and IAM.
* Hands-on experience with DevOps tooling (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environment management).
* Understanding of cryptographic standards (RSA, ECDSA, AES, hashing, signing, key management).
* Knowledge of secure data export, encryption in transit/at rest, and compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR).
* Proficient with Git-based workflows and branching strategies.
* Experience integrating third-party APIs and managing complex data flows securely.
Soft Skills
* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
* Detail-oriented and committed to producing reliable, maintainable systems.
* Effective communicator with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
* Team-focused with experience working in agile development environments.
* Enthusiasm for continuous learning, security best practices, and technical excellence.
