Remote Backend Jobs

We are looking for a Junior Back-End Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone at the start of their career who wants to build their skills in a supportive, high-growth environment.

You’ll work within a cross-functional pod alongside product managers, designers, and other engineers. You’ll be supported by more experienced engineers while taking ownership of well-defined tasks that contribute to meaningful product improvements.

Our back-end is built with Node (NestJS with Typescript), backed by CockroachDB, MySQL and Redis. We place a strong emphasis on testing, documentation, and good engineering practices.

This role is fully remote. The only requirement is that you can sync up with your pod on a UK based timezone.

Tech stack: Node, TypeScript, NestJS, React, Python, CockroachDB, MySQL, Redis, Kubernetes

Don’t worry too much about having experience with our specific tech stack - we believe most hard engineering problems are independent of specific tools or technology, so we prioritise looking for people with strong core engineering skills instinct, and principles that are open to learning new things.

What you will do

• Complete engineering tasks independently, contributing to your pod’s goals.
• Write clean, well-tested code and documentation, focusing on clarity and maintainability.
• Learn to break down small to medium-sized problems with guidance from senior engineers.
• Manage your time effectively to meet deadlines, balancing multiple priorities.
• Respond positively to feedback, demonstrating growth and continuous improvement.
• Participate in code reviews and guild discussions, learning from peers and contributing to team standards.
• Proactively improve test coverage and documentation to support code quality.

• You have up to one year of experience in software engineering, which could come from a computer science degree, a coding bootcamp, or commercial work. Ideally, you’ll have some exposure to Node.js or TypeScript.
• You understand the basics of version control (Git), collaboration (pull requests, code reviews), and agile workflows.
• You’ve written unit tests and are motivated to learn more about testing and code quality practices.
• You are curious, eager to learn, and proactive in seeking mentorship.
• You have a strong interest in building your career in back-end engineering.
• You’re collaborative, open to feedback, and motivated to contribute to a team.

• You’ve completed personal, academic, or internship projects using Node.js, TypeScript, or similar technologies.
• You can demonstrate an interest in education or making a positive social impact.
• You’ve shown initiative in solving problems, whether in technical projects or other contexts.
