technologies: React and TypeScript)
• Developing and consuming APIs to enable seamless data flows between systems
• Supporting the evolution of internal coding standards and shared component libraries
• Collaborating with the rest of the team to translate product requirements into software solutions
• Participating in team ceremonies, code reviews, and knowledge sharing

• 3–5 years of experience as a software engineer in a full stack or front-end role
• Strong development skills using Typescript + React, Python
• Understanding of relational databases (we use AWS RDS)

• Experience designing and implementing user interfaces without dedicated design support,
following usability and accessibility best practices
• Good working knowledge of Git, code review practices, CI/CD pipelines, and agile methodologies
• Other tech stack and tools we use include Vite/Next.js, AWS and Git – you should be experienced
• Ability to work independently and communicate clearly in a distributed, asynchronous team
• A pragmatic mindset with a willingness to contribute where needed
Nice to haves
We would prioritise candidates with these:
• Development experience with Java
• Wider experience with relational databases to include MySQL
• Good working experience with other tech stack components: Android, FastAPI/Django
• Experience contributing to platform transitions or systems consolidation projects
• Familiarity with TailwindCSS, component libraries, or design systems
• Exposure to geospatial or scientific data interfaces
• AWS cloud services, containerisation (e.g., Docker), deployment workflows including CDK/SAM,
Infra as code
