Manchester, New Hampshire, United Kingdom Maxwell Bond Full time £60,000 - £75,000 per year

Senior Backend Software Engineer (API, Cloud, Integration Focused)

Location:
Manchester / Hybrid (2 times a week in the office)

Salary:
Up to £75,000 (DOE)

Sector:
Tech For Good

About the Opportunity

How would you like to work on products designed to improve people's lives?

This is an opportunity for a Senior Software Engineer to join a Tech for Good business in Manchester as they embark on an ambitious roadmap of new products and services.

They are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer with strong API development skills to help drive the next phase of their platform evolution. This role sits at the heart of their distributed architecture and plays a key part in moving the business from scaling startup to an increasingly mature, enterprise-grade environment.

This role is centered around backend engineering, message-driven architectures, and building reliable, well-structured systems in a cloud-first environment.

You'll join a high-performing team delivering modern, API-driven solutions that power their product ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build and maintain API-driven backend services.
  • Develop and support integrations across a distributed, event-based architecture.
  • Work with message queues, serverless components, and cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS).
  • Implement robust logging, monitoring, error handling and performance optimisation.
  • Apply engineering best practice to improve code quality, reliability and scalability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver enterprise-level solutions.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions as they mature their cloud ecosystem.

You should bring most of the following:

  • Strong backend development experience with
    TypeScript/Node
    or
    Python
    .
  • Deep experience with
    API design, client–server systems
    , and
    distributed architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with
    message queues
    and
    asynchronous system design
    .
  • Knowledge of cloud services (
    AWS preferred
    , but
    Azure/GCP also fine
  • easy to transition).
  • Solid understanding of logging, monitoring, security considerations, and modern DevOps practices.
  • Background in enterprise-level engineering or building production-grade systems.
  • Experience with serverless (Lambda or equivalent).
  • Experience with integration patterns (HL7, FHIR, or other industry messaging).
  • CI/CD knowledge and infrastructure-as-code concepts (e.g., Terraform).
  • Strong interest in improving systems holistically - architecture, performance, security.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Ethically sound business that is genuinely trying to improve people's health.
  • Financially secure business that has grown organically.
  • Broad technical scope: backend engineering, cloud, distributed systems and integrations.
  • Opportunity to bring best-practice engineering into a business scaling rapidly.
  • Exposure to modern architectural decisions in a cloud-native, serverless-first environment.
  • Collaborative environment where high standards and autonomy are valued.
  • Senior-level role with influence and room to grow.

Interview Process

  1. Initial meet & greet
    (10 minutes, informal).
  2. Technical Interview
    including a coding exercise.
  3. Final interview / offer
    .
