Job description

This is an opportunity for a Senior Software Engineer to join a Tech for Good business in Manchester as they embark on an ambitious roadmap of new products and services. They are looking for an experienced Software Engineer with a Product and Commercial mindset to help drive the next phase of their platform evolution. This will get you excited if you're a 'product builder' with a 'You Build It, You Run It' mindset. It's a company where your voice is heard, giving you the opportunity to shape the product. You'll understand business needs will be able to adapt quickly. It's a key role with a focus on delivering modern, API-driven solutions that power their product ecosystem.

Requirements

  • Strong backend development experience with TypeScript/Node or Python.
  • Deep experience with API design, client-server systems, and distributed architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with message queues and asynchronous system design.
  • Knowledge of cloud services (AWS preferred, but Azure/GCP also fine - easy to transition).
  • Solid understanding of logging, monitoring, security considerations, and modern DevOps practices.
  • Background in enterprise-level engineering or building production-grade systems.
  • Experience with serverless (Lambda or equivalent).
  • CI/CD knowledge and infrastructure-as-code concepts (e.g., Terraform).
  • Strong interest in improving systems holistically - architecture, performance, security. This is an opportunity to join an ethically sound business that is genuinely trying to improve people's health. There is a broad technical scope - backend engineering, cloud, distributed systems and integrations - and a role with influence and room to grow.
