Job Description:

This project will be built using modern React technology, such as Next.js, along with component libraries on the frontend, a Node/TypeScript backend, and MongoDB/Postgres for databases. Additionally, AI/ML components will be integrated using Python. While prior experience in AI/ML is not required, the role offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience in this area.

The company values empowering staff with autonomy and flexibility, focusing on results rather than hours at the desk. The work schedule is flexible around core hours, with most work done remotely. In-office presence is required for team meetings and planning sessions a few times a week, so candidates should be able to commute to Colchester.

• Proven experience with relevant frameworks & libraries (preferably React, Next.js, Node)
• Experience with a component library (Material-UI, Tailwind, Chakra-UI, or similar)
• Knowledge of relational and non-relational databases
• Experience scoping, planning, and leading projects in an Agile environment

The company promotes from within, and there is a structured pathway for the successful candidate to advance into an Engineering Manager role if desired.
