SR2 has been working with this business for many years now, we have helped to build & grow their company since their earlier days as a start-up. Now officially in their scale-up phase, after millions of investments and continued growth and going from success to success.

They are building a brand-new team within the company and looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join and work on their modern tech stack and a brand-new product. This is all Greenfield work and a chance to really make an impact with the work you do.

The role is working full stack, however we are looking for someone who would first and foremost class themselves as a Backend Software Engineer with experience in Golang. You do not want to miss out on this!

Golang, Microservices, Kubernetes, Terraform, Amazon Cognito, Open API, GCP - whilst this is a full stack role also using React, TypeScript and NodeJS.

Along with their mission and technology being second to none. The ultimate best thing about this business is their culture and attitude towards putting their people first.

You can expect lots of monthly socials happening, plus in September every year they do a company trip away together with all expenses covered to celebrate the success and spend time together as a team.
