They don't scare you; they energize you. * Ownership mindset: You raise problems early, follow through, and take pride in what you ship. Bonus points (not mandatory, but nice to have!) * Curiosity about cloud infrastructure and a desire to grow into it - we use AWS CDK (TypeScript) and you'll have the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure as code alongside your backend work. * Familiarity with accessibility testing tools like Lighthouse or Axe. If you're asking yourself, "Is this the job for me?", the answer is yes-if you love solving problems, building beautiful, useful things, and being part of a project that truly makes a difference. We're pleased to share that the fixed salary range for this position is 30.000 - 45.000. The final offer within this range will be determined based on objective, gender-neutral criteria (including relevant experience, seniority level, and skills required for the role) applied consistently to all candidates in accordance with our internal job evaluation framework. Candidates may request further information on the criteria used to determine pay progression within this range. ## Description We're looking for a brilliant, curious, and proactive Mid-level or Senior Backend Developer. You'll help design and build services that deliver outstanding user experiences, taking full ownership of your backend work. * Backend development: TypeScript is your primary language. You'll build and maintain Lambda functions, ECS-hosted services, and REST APIs behind API Gateway - keeping them reliable, observable, and easy to evolve. * Event-driven architecture: You'll work daily with SNS and SQS to design async flows that handle audit results, trigger notifications, and integrate with external services. You understand idempotency, retries, and failure modes. * Container workloads: You're comfortable with Docker and deploying services via ECS/ECR, managing image lifecycles and task definitions. * Database management: You work across Aurora PostgreSQL and DynamoDB - schema design, migrations, query optimisation, and knowing when to use which. * Growing into infrastructure: As you settle in, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to our AWS CDK stacks and get hands-on with infrastructure as code - but this is a journey, not a day-one requirement. ## Related Videos - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Building Reliable Serverless Applications with AWS CDK and Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/812-building-reliable-serverless-applications-with-aws-cdk-and-testing) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [#Wanted and #Misunderstood: Decoding the Divide Between Developers and HR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1224-wanted-and-misunderstood-decoding-the-divide-between-developers-and-hr) ## Related Articles - [Frontend Developer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/233-frontend-developer-salary-in-the-uk) - [Backend Developer Salary in Austria [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/226-backend-developer-salary-in-austria-2023) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [What’s the Difference Between Frontend and Backend Development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/240-what-s-the-difference-between-frontend-and-backend-development) - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
