Full Stack Engineer That Loves Node TypeScript GraphQL Help Build Our Backend (Manchester, UK)

About this role


We’re looking for a software engineer to work on our GraphQL API, other backend services, and full stack on web-based apps. Our stack is Node.js, PostgreSQL, React, GraphQL for web and backend. You’ll work alongside other engineers who will work on our Swift and Kotlin native mobile apps and rely on the GraphQL API.


We will consider hiring at either junior, mid or senior level (we're building a team).


A typical day


The mornings will usually have a standup meeting. The aim is to update everyone, co-ordinate the day, and organise any collaboration.


After that, you may get stuck into some coding, or developing ideas. At various points you will ask for advice (or give advice). If other team members are free, you might go to a whiteboard together, and work on some problems together.


When working on a major feature/project, you’d be given a brief by the product manager. You would then have to create a design document along with a product designer. That might be a 2-3 page doc describing the problem and proposed solution.


Usually, you would say how you’re approaching the issue and discuss alternatives you have considered and why you rejected them. You would pitch it to the product manager and the rest of the team.


On other days, the focus may be on pure coding, i.e. improving fix, fixing problems, or working on deploying a feature.


Where you’ll work


We have a base in Beehive Lofts in Ancoats in Manchester.


You will occasionally need to travel to see customers, although you wouldn’t necessarily need a car to be able to do that. Full travel expenses will be paid.


There is a lift in the building with ground level access, and should you need to use this we can arrange a visit to check it is suitable.
