What we're looking for...

• Demonstrable experience as a backend developer with NodeJS and Typescript
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Experience of working in an Agile setting, delivering product features at pace
• Proactive: You don’t wait for direction; you identify what needs to be done and take action.
• Resilient: Challenges don’t deter you—they energise you.
• A Team-Player: You work effectively in a team whilst retaining responsibility for your individual deliveries
