Job description

At Navos Technologies, we don’t just maintain legacy code - we architect new solutions. From complex financial services systems to immersive virtual reality experiences, we work across an array of industries.

Tasks

We are looking for a pragmatic Full Stack Engineer to join our Bristol-based team. You will be involved from the very start - taking projects from the ideation stage, through architecture, to delivery. If you want to use the latest tech (Next.js App Router, modern TypeScript) and see the direct impact of your work, this is the role for you.

• You are a builder – You love building the foundations for success and get satisfaction from shipping features
• You are pragmatic – You know when to reach for the bleeding-edge solution and when to use a known reliable solution
• You can work with ambiguity – You can take vague requirements and turn them into a clear set of actionable deliverables
• You value progress over perfection – You understand that shipping 80% of value today is often better than waiting for 100% perfection next month. You focus on delivering outcomes not just perfect code.

Requirements

• Experience building full-stack applications using TypeScript and modern standards and practices
• Experience with React / Next.js (ideally with App Router)
• Experience with Node.js based backends (e.g. Serverless Functions / Lambda / Nest.js)
• Knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases plus ORMs (Prisma / Drizzle)
• Automated testing (e.g. Jest / Playwright / Cypress)
• Secure development practices
• Experience using Git based source control
• Organisation and time management skills

Nice to haves

• Experience with messaging and event driven systems (e.g. ServiceBus / SQS)
• DevOps CI Pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions)
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
• 25 days holiday entitlement, increasing to 30 days over 5 years of service
• An additional day off for your birthday
• Smart Pension with employer contributions
• Regular company social events
• Modern office in the heart of Bristol with access to a Gym, Yoga and regular events
