An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Back End Developer to join a global media and technology company who provide b2b content to a number of major brands.

The team use NodeJS and PHP Laravel on the Back End at the moment but you don’t need to have experience in those
already – just good knowledge of back end APIs and a willingness to work on NodeJS.

This role comes with complete flexibility in location – you can be fully remote from anywhere in the UK, or hybrid / fully on-site out of London, Bristol or Leeds; whatever works best for you.

The Back End Developer will also have the opportunity to shape the technology used going forward with our move to a microservice infrastructure platform just starting out.

  • Support the build of our backend websites using Node / Docker / AWS / React (admin areas)
  • Responsibility for the development of new services and be accountable for the overall success of deliveries including analysis and design,
  • Responsibility for the interaction of backend services with both each other and dependant frontends that will allow the business to maintain a platform of capability for websites
  • Gain an understanding of the infrastructure set-up, and use AWS to host and maintain sites

Skills & Experience:

  • Considerable hands-on experience developing services for backend APIs (e.g. REST, RPC, GraphQL)
  • Strong understanding of modern containerisation strategies (ideally Docker)
  • Experience with git source control
  • Experience with PHP Laravel or other back-end technology stacks and frameworks (Desirable)
  • Demonstrable understanding and experience of NodeJS and TypeScript (Desirable)
  • Knowledge of best practice in database implementation, SQL & No-SQL
  • Understanding of efficient caching strategies
  • React or similar frontend framework knowledge would be a bonus
  • This is an urgent requirement and my client are looking to move quickly for the right Back End Developer.
