We empower our clients with real-world insights and data to make better decisions, enabling them to seize new opportunities in emerging markets, facilitate access to more buyers, and streamline operations for distributors.

This role contributes to the strategic planning of the company's backend architecture and technology stack.

Operations and Support

  • Ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of backend systems in production.
  • Working with DevOps, Security, and IT teams to optimize infrastructure and deployment processes.
Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in backend development, with a strong technical background in C#, .NET, Java, Python, or Node.js.
  • Proven experience in designing and building scalable and reliable backend systems.
  • Strong knowledge of software development methodologies, tools, and best practices.
Benefits and Perks

  • Estimated annual salary: £60,000 - £80,000.
  • Pension.
  • Life insurance.
  • Dental cover.
