Back End Developer

Backend Software Engineer (Node.js / TypeScript / GraphQL)

We’re hiring a mid-level Backend Software Engineer to join a growing product-led tech team building SaaS platforms for the automotive sector, used by major car dealerships.

This is a backend-heavy role, focused on building scalable services and APIs as the business transitions away from a traditional consultancy model into a more mature product organisation.

The Role

• Design, build and maintain backend services using Node.js, TypeScript and GraphQL
• Work on a modern SaaS platform used by automotive retailers
• Collaborate within a squad-based setup (5 squads of ~5 engineers)
• Contribute to new feature development as well as improving existing systems
• Work closely with product and other engineers in a pragmatic, delivery-focused environment

Tech Stack (core)

• Node.js
• TypeScript
• GraphQL
• Backend-first architecture (not a frontend-heavy role)

What they’re looking for

• Commercial experience building backend services with Node.js and TypeScript
• Experience working with GraphQL APIs
• Comfortable working in a product or consultancy-style environment
• Someone who enjoys ownership, collaboration, and shipping practical solutions

Location & Working Pattern

• 4 days per week onsite in Hull (1 day remote)

Salary

• Up to £55,000 (depending on experience)

Why consider it?

• Clear product direction as the business phases out consultancy-style delivery
• Modern backend stack with real-world scale
• Structured engineering teams (small squads, low noise)
• Opportunity to grow with a product that’s actively evolving
