About the Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, high-performance backend services using NestJS and Node.js.

- Collaborate with frontend developers, product managers, and QA to deliver high-quality features.
- Write unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability.
- Implement security best practices and maintain documentation.
- Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest NestJS, Node.js, and backend technology trends.
Requirements
- Proven experience (5+ years) in backend development with Node.js and RESTful APIs.

- Strong understanding of database design and optimization (PostgreSQL preferred).
- Experience with modern backend development tools (Docker, CI/CD, etc.).
- Familiarity with unit and integration testing frameworks.
- Excellent troubleshooting, debugging, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a distributed, remote team.
- Experience in the healthtech sector is a plus but not essential.
- Flexible, fully remote working with optional access to the Manchester office.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
- Collaborative, supportive team environment.
- Generous annual leave and additional company benefits.
