This is the latter.
We’re hiring a Backend Software Engineer to help power a next-gen digital platform built on MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless). This isn’t a side project. This platform supports 50+ websites and mobile apps used at scale across the UK and beyond.

* Translating business ideas into real, resilient architecture
* Driving quality through CI/CD, automation & DevOps best practice

* TypeScript & Node.js
* Microservices architecture
* GraphQL / REST APIs
* SQL or NoSQL databases
