Senior Software Engineer

New Yesterday

Senior Software Engineer - Node.js / TypeScript / AWS - Cheshire

This is not the kind of role where you join a big engineering team, pick up tickets, and stay neatly in your lane.

Its a small team. Greenfield work. Real ownership.

Im working with a fintech business looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join them on a permanent basis as they build out a number of new products and modernise parts of an existing platform estate.

This is a genuinely broad role. Youll be working across full stack TypeScript development, cloud / DevOps, architecture, and product build-out, in a business where theres a lot to do and a lot of room to make an impact.

(And, as its FinTech, there are some good benefits - high pension, 10% bonus, Electric Car Scheme etc)

What youll be doing Building new greenfield products from scratch

Working across frontend, backend, cloud, and DevOps

Helping shape technical direction in a small, hands-on team

Building modern platforms that will replace and improve older legacy systems over time

Getting involved in multiple products rather than one narrow workstream

Working in an environment that is increasingly AI-enabled, where engineering approach matters just as much as code output

This is the kind of role where you need to be comfortable figuring things out.

Not because theres no support, but because this is a smaller setup where people are expected to think for themselves, take ownership, and get moving.

Tech-wise, theyre looking for experience around: Node.js

TypeScript

AWS

Modern full stack product development

Cloud and DevOps experience

Building and shipping products in smaller, fast-moving environments

Strong engineering fundamentals and good technical judgement

There is also some legacy platform exposure in the background, so any understanding of older stacks like PHP would be useful, but the focus of this hire is very much on the newer greenfield work.

The kind of person wholl do well here Youve worked in a small team or scale-up style environment before

Youre happy being hands-on across multiple areas, not just one layer of the stack

You dont need a perfectly structured team around you to be effective

You care about how software gets built, not just whether it works

Youre comfortable using modern AI tools as part of your workflow, but you still think like an engineer

This one is much more about mindset and capability than someone who just says I only do frontend or I only do backend.

They need a genuine all-rounder.

Whats on offer 10% bonus

Strong pension contribution

Additional benefits through a larger group-backed package

Long-term opportunity to help shape multiple new products

Hybrid working with 3 days a week onsite in Cheshire
