Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer | TypeScript, Node.js, React, AWS | IoT & Real-Time Data | AWS | Infrastructure | Hybrid | Up to £90,000 + Bonus

Are you a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys working across both software engineering and infrastructure?

Do you enjoy building products that interact with the real world, rather than just another SaaS platform?

Would you like to work on a modern TypeScript platform processing huge volumes of real-time IoT data from connected devices deployed across the UK?

I'm currently partnered with a growing technology business that builds and operates its own end-to-end IoT platform, combining connected devices, cloud infrastructure and data-driven software solutions to deliver real-time monitoring and compliance systems at scale.

As part of their continued growth, they're looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, highly technical team building the next generation of their platform.

The role

This is a genuinely hands-on role with a strong emphasis on backend engineering, cloud infrastructure and systems thinking.

You'll spend most of your time building new features and services on a modern TypeScript platform, whilst also contributing to infrastructure, deployments and platform reliability.

What you'll be doing

• Building and evolving a modern TypeScript platform processing large volumes of real-time IoT data
• Developing backend services, APIs and event-driven systems
• Working across React, Next.js, Node.js and AWS
• Owning and improving production systems, reliability and scalability
• Contributing to deployments, infrastructure and platform engineering initiatives
• Working with connected devices, sensor data and real-world monitoring systems
• Supporting the continued evolution of a next-generation platform
• Collaborating closely with a small engineering team on technical decisions and architecture

What they're looking for

• Strong commercial TypeScript experience
• Strong Node.js backend experience
• React and/or Next.js experience
• Experience building and maintaining APIs
• Experience working with cloud environments, ideally AWS
• Experience with event-driven or distributed systems
• Strong understanding of software architecture and production systems
• Comfortable operating across the full software lifecycle

Bonus points for

• Terraform or Infrastructure as Code experience
• Kubernetes experience
• Docker or containerisation experience
• Linux administration experience
• Platform Engineering or DevOps exposure
• IoT, embedded, telemetry or real-time data experience
• Experience owning deployments and cloud infrastructure

Why it's interesting

• Interesting blend of software, infrastructure and IoT
• Real-world impact, working with systems that monitor critical environments
• Modern TypeScript stack throughout
• Strong engineering ownership and autonomy
• Small team where you'll have genuine influence
• Opportunity to work across frontend, backend, cloud and infrastructure rather than being siloed
