Backend Software Engineer

Full Time, Permanent

Thank You for Applying!

Your application has come through successfully.

Role:  Backend Software Engineer – TypeScript | Node.js

Location:  Nottinghamshire

Working Arrangement:  Hybrid – 3 Days Onsite

Salary:  Up to £85k + Serious Perks

You know the difference between “just another backend role” and one that actually moves the needle.

This is the latter.

We’re hiring a Backend Software Engineer to help power a next-gen digital platform built on MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless). This isn’t a side project. This platform supports 50+ websites and mobile apps used at scale across the UK and beyond.

If you thrive on clean architecture, scalable services, and high-performance APIs – keep reading.

What You’ll Be Building

You’ll join a fast-paced, delivery-focused engineering team shaping a cloud-native ecosystem running in Microsoft Azure.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Designing and building scalable microservices using TypeScript & Node.js
  • Creating and maintaining GraphQL & REST APIs
  • Integrating with headless CMS, e-commerce platforms & payment providers
  • Translating business ideas into real, resilient architecture
  • Driving quality through CI/CD, automation & DevOps best practice
  • Championing maintainable, future-proof code
  • You won’t just “write tickets.” You’ll shape standards, influence architecture, and help evolve a platform that operates at serious scale.

What You Bring

  • You’ve got strong commercial experience with:
  • TypeScript & Node.js
  • Microservices architecture
  • GraphQL / REST APIs
  • SQL or NoSQL databases
  • CI/CD and modern development lifecycle practices
  • Most importantly? You take ownership. You back yourself. You think beyond the brief.

The Perks (And they’re Not Small)

This isn’t just code + salary.  You’ll get:

  • Up to £85k salary
  • Hybrid working (3 days onsite)
  • Peer recognition scheme where top performers can earn double pay for a month
  • Significant staff discounts across all group brands
  • Onsite, state-of-the-art gym with full showering facilities
  • Discounted gym memberships across multiple UK locations
  • 24/7 wellbeing support including counselling & financial/legal advice
  • Clear career progression in a business that moves fast

Why This Role?

You’ll be building software at scale, you’ll be working in a business that backs bold thinking, you’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, and you’ll be surrounded by engineers who care about doing things properly.

This isn’t slow-moving enterprise.

It’s ambitious, evolving, and unapologetically forward-thinking.

If you’re a backend engineer who wants:

✔ Real ownership

✔ Modern architecture

✔ High impact

✔ Strong salary

✔ Tangible perks

Then let’s talk.
