Software Developer Job at Full Time NEW

We’re working with a growing product-led tech business that’s building software used at scale, where reliability and pragmatism matter just as much as clean code. They’re looking for a backend-leaning engineer who enjoys solving real operational problems, owning systems in production, and working with a team that values thoughtful engineering over hype.

Role Overview:

• Location: Hybrid – London
• Package: £75,000 – £90,000 p/a + benefits
• Industry: SaaS / Technology

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing, building, and maintaining backend services and APIs used in production environments
• Owning systems end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, stability, and ongoing improvements
• Working across multiple third-party integrations and external dependencies
• Troubleshooting issues from logs, metrics, and real-world system behaviour
• Improving resilience through retries, reconciliation processes, idempotency, and failure handling
• Collaborating with engineers across the stack to deliver reliable, scalable features
• Contributing to existing platforms and codebases with a focus on maintainability and long-term quality
• Supporting operational improvements across cloud-native or self-managed infrastructure environments

Main Skills Needed:

• Strong backend engineering experience using languages such as C#, Go, Java, or similar
• Proven experience designing and maintaining APIs and production systems
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, integration challenges, and operational reliability
• Comfortable debugging complex issues and tracing failures across services and dependencies
• Experience working within SaaS, platform, scale-up, or high-volume product environments
• Ability to work with modern frontend code when needed, even if frontend isn’t your primary focus
• Pragmatic approach to engineering decisions with a strong understanding of trade-offs
• Experience maintaining and improving existing systems rather than only greenfield projects
• Stable career history with evidence of long-term contribution within teams and products

What’s in It for You:

• Opportunity to work on meaningful technical problems with real production impact
• Strong engineering culture focused on practicality, ownership, and collaboration
• Exposure to scalable systems, integrations, and operationally mature environments
• Flexible working setup with a team that values autonomy and trust
• Chance to contribute to a growing platform without unnecessary process or bureaucracy
• A technically credible environment where calm, thoughtful engineers thrive
