Senior Backend Developer – Node.js / TypeScript

Location: Hybrid – Home / Crewe HQ

A bold, global tech company is on a mission to build transformative, sustainable solutions across mobility, connectivity, and innovation. They have grown from humble roots to become a trusted name in next-gen technology that helps businesses adapt and thrive in a changing world. Sustainability and smart digital evolution are at the core of everything we do.

Now, they’re expanding – and this is your opportunity to be part of something exciting.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Developer with deep Node.js and TypeScript experience to join our vehicle telematics division – a rapidly growing area central to our long-term vision.

This is not a "code monkey" role. You’ll be a hands-on technical leader, shaping the evolution of a complex, multi-environment SaaS platform spanning 70+ Git repositories and built on a modern microservices architecture. Expect cutting-edge technologies – AWS, Docker, automated CI/CD, and Terraform-provisioned infrastructure – with plenty of room to both lead and learn.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable backend systems using Node.js and TypeScript
• Uphold technical quality while delivering pragmatic solutions to real-world problems
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure features meet user and business needs
• Mentor and support junior engineers, sharing knowledge and raising the bar
• Guide the team through complex technical challenges with creativity and grit
• Engage in Agile ceremonies, improve ways of working, and help steer the team’s direction
• Cloud & Services: AWS (ECS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Firehose, S3, SQS, SNS)

What We’re Looking For:

• Solid commercial experience as a back-end developer
• Strong problem-solving skills and a critical thinker’s mindset
• Ability to take full ownership of your work – from concept to deployment
• Practical understanding of microservices, containerisation, and cloud-native architectures
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile environments
• Excellent communication skills and a drive to lead, not just contribute

Who You Are:

• Proactive: You take initiative and deliver without waiting for instructions
• Resilient: You stay cool under pressure and turn obstacles into solutions
• A Driver: You push projects and teams forward with energy and clarity
• Collaborative but Confident: You’re a team player who’s not afraid to stand by good decisions

What You’ll Get in Return:

• A supportive, ambitious culture built on innovation and trust
• A rapidly growing environment where your impact will be felt
• Opportunities to work on forward-thinking projects in a dynamic space
• A hybrid working model and flexibility to suit your lifestyle
• Competitive salary, bonus potential, and a comprehensive benefits package
