Junior Back-end Engineer

Company Description: Fast-growing scale-up

This is a great opportunity to join a fast-moving engineering team as a Junior Backend Engineer. You’ll help build and maintain scalable backend systems that power real-world applications, working closely with product and front-end teams.

It’s a hands-on role designed for someone early in their backend career who’s excited to learn, ship, and grow.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and maintain server-side logic using modern backend frameworks (e.g. Node.js, Python, Go)
• Work with APIs — designing, integrating, and maintaining RESTful endpoints
• Support database design and optimisation (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
• Collaborate with front-end and product teams to deliver full-stack features
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code
• Help improve system performance, scalability, and security
• Participate in code reviews and learn from senior engineers
• Stay curious and keep learning — especially in areas like DevOps, testing, or AI tooling

What we're looking for:

• 1–2 years of experience (including internships or personal projects) in backend development
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.)
• Basic understanding of how REST APIs work
• Familiarity with databases and version control (e.g. Git)
• Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail
• A willingness to learn fast and take feedback
• Bonus: any experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), testing frameworks, or containerisation
