About the job

Backend Engineer (Mid-Level)

Who is the company?

Technology alone does not create impact—the right teams do. Founded in 2018, the company is a boutique technology services and consulting firm helping global organisations solve complex business challenges through digital transformation, product development and AI enablement.

We are a fast-growing team of 340+ engineers and consultants across Europe (UK, Spain, Portugal), the Americas (US, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia), and the Middle East. We combine global reach with a mindset focused on agility, senior expertise, and close collaboration.

We work as an extension of our clients’ teams, helping them define the right problems, shape solutions, and deliver technology-driven outcomes that create measurable business value. Our expertise spans software engineering, AI & data, product development, and customer experience, delivered by teams that combine strong technical depth with a consulting mindset.

Why Join Us? If you are looking for a place where you can think beyond execution, take true ownership of outcomes, influence decisions, and continuously learn alongside top-tier specialists in a truly global environment, we’d love to meet you.

How will you impact?

As a Mid-Level Backend Engineer, you will directly drive the backend architecture for a cutting-edge conversational property search experience where LLMs orchestrate the user journey. By building scalable microservices, optimising data integrations, and enabling real-time streaming, you will turn complex AI capabilities into seamless, highly reliable consumer interactions.

Your key responsibilities

Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to

  • Develop, maintain, and enhance backend microservices and APIs (REST/gRPC) primarily using TypeScript (Node.js) and Go.
  • Implement and optimize event-driven, asynchronous workflows using messaging platforms such as Kafka, SQS, or SNS.
  • Manage and tune relational, search, and caching data stores including PostgreSQL/MySQL, OpenSearch, and Redis for maximum performance.
  • Deploy, maintain, and monitor containerised applications across AWS and Kubernetes environments.
  • Diagnose, debug, and resolve complex backend production issues to ensure system stability and high availability.
  • Drive code quality standards across the team through automated unit/integration testing, peer code reviews, and technical documentation.
  • Partner with product managers, designers, and cross-functional engineers to translate user needs into practical, high-impact backend solutions.

What you’ll bring to the role

Essential Requirements

  • 3-6 years of professional software engineering experience with strong focus on backend microservices and API design (REST/gRPC).
  • Hands-on expertise with TypeScript (Node.js) for enterprise backend development.
  • Solid experience working with relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL), search engines (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch), and in-memory caches (Redis).
  • Practical experience with AWS cloud services and asynchronous/event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, or SNS).
  • Demonstrated commitment to software quality through unit/integration testing, debugging, and production support.

Desirable Requirements

  • Hands-on exposure to Go or a strong desire to learn and contribute to existing Go services.
  • Hands-on experience or exposure to production LLM-powered applications (e.g., function/tool calling, context management, prompt caching).
