Senior Backend Software Engineer (UK)

Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated complex distributed systems issues. Your deep expertise in Java and Spring means you've shipped high-throughput APIs that handle millions of requests, and you have strong opinions on service architecture, dependency injection, and testing strategies. You are comfortable working in a collaborative environment where you can engage with both frontend and backend technologies, understanding the strengths and constraints of each. You value user-centricity and pragmatism, always choosing the most relevant tools for the problem at hand. You are driven by innovation and ready to make an impact at scale, and you thrive in a culture that celebrates bold ideas and challenges the status quo.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms like AWS is a plus, as is familiarity with performance management tools. You might also have a background in SaaS development, which would help you understand the unique challenges of building scalable applications in a fast-paced environment.
