I'm working with a down-to-earth company that gives its dev team the autonomy to lead changes and make a significant impact on the platform. We have recently brought all development in-house and we are now looking for a Senior Developer with strong TypeScript experience to join the team. You'll be hands-on in development and bring a passion for helping your peers and supporting junior team members to grow. Excellent communication skills are essential, as you will be responsible for clearly articulating technical principles and explanations of architecture and patterns. The role is mostly remote, with occasional visits to their Bristol office. Ideally, you'd go to Bristol once a week, but there's some flexibility. You must have the right to work in the UK and live within a commutable distance of Bristol. Tech Stack and Experience: Required/MUST HAVE: Strong TypeScript experience Preferred: Node.js or Angular experience, with an interest in working with AWS and MongoDB Bonus: Experience with GitHub, Time Series Data, PHP, MySQL, or IoT One of the first tasks will be to support further with the rewrite and modernisation of the platform originally built in PHP, adding microservices. While a small part of their offshore team will handle bug fixes and other issues, the focus will be on writing clean, efficient code. This is a genuine greenfield project, offering a unique opportunity to join a smart and collaborative team. It's an excellent time to join as they have substantial investment, providing the resources to do quality work. You'll enjoy the dynamic environment of a start-up without the associated risks. If you're a passionate developer with a knack for TypeScript and are excited about the opportunity to grow both technically and as a mentor, please apply. I'm happy to discuss the role and the company in more detail.
