Software Engineer (Backend Developer - NodeJS)

As a Backend Engineer in the Content Team you will design, build, and improve our content pipeline. You will develop and maintain event‑driven applications and services that power content delivery across the organisation. You will report to the Team Lead.

Responsibilities

You will develop new applications using an event-driven architecture and improve the functionality of existing applications. You will play an active role in technical conversations and decision-making, conduct code reviews, produce technical documentation, and write unit tests. You will work collaboratively within a cross-functional Agile/Scrum team and communicate effectively with other teams and stakeholders to clarify requirements, share progress, and resolve issues.

The ideal candidate

• Strong expertise in building server-side applications with Node.js and TypeScript, alongside designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and microservices, with practical integration of messaging patterns using Kafka.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as S3, ECS, CloudWatch, and CloudFormation, plus Bash scripting to automate routine operational tasks.
• Proven ability to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for reliable, repeatable delivery.
• Comfortable operating in Agile environments—ideally Scrum—with clear, articulate communication that fosters collaboration across teams, and confidence managing multiple projects and deadlines.
• Exposure to Java services is an advantage, paired with a self-starting, can-do attitude.
