Qualifications

• Strong TypeScript, Node.js and React experience.
• Experience designing, building and operating production backend services and REST APIs.

• Design clean, maintainable APIs and contribute to architectural decisions across multiple products.
• Integrate identity and access platforms such as Auth0/OIDC alongside internally built access-control mechanisms.
• Own services end to end, from API design and data modelling through testing, observability and production deployment.
• Build secure systems incorporating JWT/OIDC authentication, fine-grained authorisation and resource-ownership validation.
• Write high-quality automated tests, including unit, integration and end-to-end coverage, as part of everyday development.
