Job description

On a day-to-day basis, you will support and maintain a production-level application used by customers at scale, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. Your time will typically be split across backend engineering (45%), frontend development (45%), and operational support via Jira tickets (10%). On the backend side, you’ll build and enhance APIs, services, and system functionality, while working within a large, established codebase to integrate new features and improve performance. From a frontend perspective, you’ll contribute to internal tools and user workflows using React/TypeScript/JavaScript, helping create more intuitive systems that empower support teams. A smaller portion of your time will be focused on investigating and resolving production issues raised via Jira, working closely with support teams to troubleshoot customer-facing problems such as licensing, access, and system behaviour. Long term, you’ll play a key role in identifying opportunities to automate manual processes, translating loosely defined requirements into practical technical solutions, and collaborating cross-functionally with product, support, and engineering teams to improve both internal workflows and the overall customer experience.
