We're looking for:

• 10+ years' commercial software engineering experience
• Strong expertise with Node.js and TypeScript
• Experience building distributed, cloud-native applications
• A polyglot mindset with exposure to other languages (Java, Go, Python, C#, Kotlin or similar)
• Strong understanding of APIs, microservices and event-driven architectures
• Experience working within modern Agile product teams
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach

What's on offer:

• £550–£600 per day
