• Support your Lead by guiding technical delivery, supporting junior engineers, and ensuring high-quality code and practices 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to shape robust backend solutions that meet business and customer needs 

• Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and performance optimisation efforts 

What you’ll bring 

• Proficiency in Node.js, Java, JavaScript, or Go (Golang) with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs (GraphQL a plus) 

• Solid understanding of API security protocols like OAuth2 and JWT, and experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB) 

• Strong grasp of CI/CD pipelines, version control with Git, and modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) 

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and deploying scalable, containerised applications in distributed environments 

• Experience working with microservices architecture, asynchronous processing (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ), and API performance tuning 

• A pragmatic problem-solver with excellent debugging skills and a passion for clean, testable code
