Job Description
Senior Back End Software Engineer (TypeScript)
Salary: up to £85,000
Location: Fully remote (UK, EU, or North America time zones)
We're hiring a Senior Back End Software Engineer to join a fast-growing startup in the sustainability and renewables space.
The business is scaling its customer and internal platforms and is building out the core Back End and data foundations that underpin a growing product ecosystem. This is a hands-on role with real influence over architecture, data systems, and platform direction.
Importantly, there is a clear progression path in mind towards a Head of Software Engineering position as the engineering team grows. This role is well suited to someone who wants to remain technically hands-on while gradually taking on broader ownership and leadership responsibility.
