Job description

Join a growing technology business where you’ll make architectural decisions, build substantial backend services and take your work all the way into production. You’ll work directly with an experienced engineering team, with the autonomy to solve problems and see your decisions become working features quickly.

Why this opportunity stands out

• Own projects from start to finish. Take responsibility for the design, code, deployment and ongoing performance of significant backend features and integrations.
• Have a voice in the architecture. Your judgement will help determine how the platform develops, scales and supports new capabilities.
• Build practical AI into the product. Help choose and integrate the models and tools that turn ambitious ideas into useful features.
• See the impact of your work. Work closely with product and engineering, with short decision paths and delivery measured in days and weeks.
• Join ahead of planned expansion. Become an influential early member of the engineering team, with potential to grow into technical leadership.

The work

You’ll build TypeScript and Node.js services, own complex third-party integrations and make decisions across scalability, security and reliability. You’ll also strengthen testing, monitoring and deployment, taking responsibility for what you ship.

What you’ll bring

Strong hands‑on TypeScript/Node.js backend experience and examples of substantial services or integrations you’ve personally delivered. You’ll be comfortable with SQL, APIs and cloud production systems, and enjoy making progress when requirements aren’t fully defined.

Experience implementing AI features or agents - commercially or through substantial personal projects - would be particularly valuable. Above all, you’ll enjoy taking initiative and having the responsibility to turn an idea into a working product.
