About the Opportunity
We are looking for a backend-heavy developer who is fluent in Python (FastAPI) and Node.js but can hold their own on the frontend (React/Angular).
This is a high-visibility role with a clear path to leadership. You will be hands-on with code 80-90% of the time while mentoring a small, agile team. If you are an architect-level builder looking for equity upside and the chance to own the technical direction of a scalable platform, this is for you.
The Role
-
Architect & Build: Design and develop high-performance RESTful APIs using Python (FastAPI) and Node.js.
-
Lead & Mentor: Act as a technical anchor for a small team. Review code, set standards, and drive technical excellence.
-
Full Stack Integration: While backend-focused, you will manage integration with frontend frameworks (React and Angular).
-
Scale: Optimise database queries and system architecture to handle increased load as the product grows.
The Candidate
-
Backend Expertise: 3-5 years as a Lead Full-stack Developer. Deep production experience with Python (specifically FastAPI) and Node.js is non-negotiable.
-
Frontend Competence: Proficient with modern JavaScript frameworks, specifically React or Angular. You don't need to be a pixel-perfect designer, but you must understand state management and component lifecycle.
-
Leadership Potential: Experience mentoring junior devs or leading small squads. You have excellent communication skills and can explain complex technical concepts clearly.
-
Startup Mindset: You move fast, ship code, and care about the product, not just the ticket.
-
Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience with APIs, web services, and third-party integration tools.
-
Workflow Automation Tools: Experience with no-code workflow automation platforms. (e.g., Zapier, Azure Logic Apps, Microsoft Power Platform)
-
Proficiency in SQL and PostgreSQL.
-
Experience with Git and RESTful API Design.
-
Cloud expertise with platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
-
Hands-on experience deploying applications independently.
-
Collaboration & Problem-Solving: Strong communication skills with the ability to develop tailored solutions in dynamic environments.
-
Bonus: Experience with AI/ML technologies, working with the government, or working across various industries.
