Backend Developer – Elixir / Ruby / Go
Location: Remote (One day a month in Chester)
How does joining a fast-scaling tech business in one of the most exciting growth areas sound?
We are helping a client find a Backend Developer to join the engineering team behind a leading IoT platform – used by thousands of businesses across the UK and beyond. With strong growth, a major product roadmap, and heavy investment in innovation, this is a great time to join the journey.
You’ll be building and improving a modern, microservice-driven platform running on AWS – working in a cross-functional team with a strong DevOps culture, automated pipelines, and a product mindset.
If you're someone who enjoys scaling systems, working across multiple environments, and getting stuck into interesting challenges – you’ll enjoy the setup here.
In the role, you'll be:
-
Building and maintaining back-end systems using Elixir and Ruby, ideally with some Go experience too
-
Leading by example when it comes to engineering standards, delivery pace, and code quality
-
Supporting less experienced developers and getting involved in key architectural decisions
-
Working closely with Product, QA, and DevOps in an agile, outcomes-first team
-
Getting hands-on when needed – especially during high-stakes delivery windows or critical moments
What you’ll get:
-
Remote-first working (UK based) with flexibility
-
The chance to work on a major product with real-world scale and complexity
-
A growing tech business with a great culture and lots of progression routes
-
Competitive salary, bonus potential, and a solid benefits package
-
A team who care about clean code, high standards, and solving meaningful problems
