If you're the kind of engineer who naturally sets technical standards, challenges architectural decisions, and raises the bar for everyone around you, this is your opportunity to lead from the front.
We're partnered with a fast-scaling UK SaaS technology company building sophisticated, data-driven digital products used by commercial teams to better understand and engage their customers.

- TypeScript, JavaScript
- Microservices Architecture
- Redis, SQL Server & Snowflake
- AWS cloud infrastructure
- Mature CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices
It's a fast-moving SaaS environment with continuous deployment and a strong emphasis on engineering quality.
