They’re now rebuilding a core platform from the ground up on a modern Node.js stack, while reshaping the engineering function around an AI-first approach.

• Build and own backend services, APIs and data pipelines at scale
• Make architecture decisions that the wider team builds on
• Stay hands-on while mentoring senior engineers
• Partner closely with product and leadership on priorities and trade-offs
• Help embed AI tooling into everyday engineering workflows

Tech stack

• Node.js, TypeScript
• React / Next.js
• Cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS or GCP also relevant)
• APIs, data pipelines, distributed systems
• AI tooling integrated into development workflows
