Senior Backend Engineer | London | Scale-up, DTC & E-commerce Tech
I'm hiring for a fast-growing tech company that's changing how leading DTC and e-commerce brands reach the customers they struggle to get through to: the ones who ignore emails, scroll past retargeting ads and don't respond to SMS.
Their platform plugs straight into tools like Shopify and Klaviyo, and it's already delivering measurable incremental revenue for some of the best brands in the world. Now they need a Senior Full Stack (Backend) Engineer to help shape the architecture behind it.
