Tired of being just another cog in the machine? This isn't your typical backend role. You'll be part of a small, dynamic team creating a brand-new digital ecosystem for one of the UK's most exciting premium pet food brands as they revolutionise their online presence.

As a Backend Developer with 3-4 years of experience, you're probably looking for that perfect mix: challenging work, modern tech stack, genuine impact on business outcomes, and a team that values clean, well-tested code over "move fast and break things" chaos.

Here's what makes this role different:

• You'll join at the foundation stage of building a cutting-edge headless e-commerce platform that will eventually support 25+ brands across Europe
• Your code will directly power the digital transformation of a multi-million-pound premium pet brand with ambitious growth plans
• You'll work with a tech-first, data-driven approach using AWS, serverless architecture, and modern development practices
• No bureaucracy - small team, big impact, direct access to leadership

You'll play a crucial role in migrating a successful e-commerce business to a modern, scalable platform by December, building:

• Serverless Lambda functions and API gateways using TypeScript/Node.js
• AWS infrastructure with Terraform
• Macroservice architecture (think microservices, but grouped by resource type)
• The foundation of an authentication service, cart service, and full checkout flow
• APIs that connect the frontend experience to critical business systems

What's In It For You?

• c. £50k salary with performance bonus
• Fully remote role with genuine flexibility
• Health insurance
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (plus free time between Christmas and New Year)
• Regular, relaxed team socials ("no awkward team building sessions - just kicking back and having fun")
• Clear path to senior positions as the team grows
• Potential to explore DevOps or full-stack paths in the future

Who We're Looking For?

You don't need to tick every box, but our ideal teammate has:

• Experience with AWS services like Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EC2, S3
• A passion for well-structured, maintainable code (we value quality over speed)
• Experience building APIs and working with microservice architectures
• Knowledge of serverless approaches
• Ideally some exposure to e-commerce platforms or headless architectures

Our client is looking to fill this position ASAP to support their critical December platform launch.
