Backend Engineer (NodeJS)

Our client set out to reinvent the CMS for the modern world and now processes billions of API requests every day. They are a renowned SaaS software business working with over 350 leading brands on a global stage. You will be working with a team of engineers on an API-first, headless CMS platform underpinned by the cross-functional, autonomous “Shopify model” of working.

As a Backend Engineer in the Content Delivery squad, you will be part of a team that owns the APIs that their customers use to fetch content from the CMS, and should expect to work together to tackle interesting engineering challenges daily. You will need to be truly collaborative, not only just willing to learn new technologies, but excited by the prospect of this. Strengthened by the philosophies of best idea wins, right tool for the job, and not taking their selves too seriously, this role is a great next step for somebody who is truly passionate about people and technology.

Key Skills
· You have experience building highly available, testable, cloud applications and services.
· You have strong knowledge of NodeJs, Typescript, or other modern languages.
· You have experience mentoring and leading other engineers.
· You are eager to learn, try out new technologies, and keen to share what you know.
· Experience with GraphQL is desirable, but not entirely necessary to be successful in this role.
· Java experience would be useful, but ultimately as they are moving away from the language it would be useful to consider how this will fit in with your own career goals.
