Backend TypeScript / Node.js API Engineer – Contract
£400 a day
Outside IR35
6 months
Remote, UK based
You will be joining the Platform team, on an initial 6 month contract, building a new single tenant, cloud agnostic platform from scratch. This is a backend focused role for someone who wants to own APIs end to end rather than just write endpoints and move on.
What you'll be doing:
Designing and building backend APIs using TypeScript and Node.js
Owning services properly, from the first commit through to how they behave in production
Building out health checks, smoke tests and diagnostics
Working with QA to strengthen test automation
Writing runbooks that are actually useful, not just box ticking
Collaborating with the wider platform team on reliability
Your skillset:
Strong commercial experience with TypeScript and Node.js on the backend
Runbooks
API's
AI
Comfortable taking full ownership of a service, not just the build
Genuine interest in the operational side of engineering
If you want to help shape a platform early rather than join something already locked in, get in touch with your CV.
