Senior Backend Developer – Elixir / Ruby / Go
Location: Remote (One day a month in Chester)

Fancy joining a high-growth tech business with a major product roadmap and big investment into engineering?

We’re helping a client find a Senior Backend Developer to play a key role in scaling an established IoT platform – already used by thousands of businesses across the UK and Europe. The product is gaining serious traction, and there’s plenty of opportunity to lead, influence architecture, and shape the future of the platform.

You'll balance technical excellence with execution – working closely with Product, QA, and DevOps to keep things moving fast without compromising on quality or scalability.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, guiding high-performing teams, and building systems that actually make a difference – this one’s worth a look.

In the role, you’ll be:

• Designing, building, and maintaining secure, scalable backend systems using Elixir and Ruby, with some Go in the mix

• Taking the technical lead on key projects, supporting delivery while influencing the wider architecture

• Guiding and mentoring junior engineers while setting the tone for engineering standards and delivery mindset

• Working closely within a cross-functional agile team – collaborating to solve real-world problems at pace

• Rolling up your sleeves when it counts – especially during high-pressure delivery periods

What we’re looking for:

• Significant experience as a backend engineer in modern product environments

• Strong critical thinking skills and a pragmatic approach to problem solving

• Ability to lead from the front – both technically and as a mentor

• A product-led mindset – comfortable taking ownership from design to delivery

• Passion for agile principles, team collaboration, and iterative improvement

What’s on offer:

• Remote-first working (UK based), with just one day a month in Chester

• A major product with scale, complexity, and a real-world impact

• A fast-growing tech business with loads of opportunity to progress

• A great engineering culture with strong collaboration and high standards

• Competitive salary, bonus potential, and a solid benefits package
