Prefer solving real production problems over building features for the sake of it?
We are working with a long established, AI driven technology business whose platform is used daily by major global media organisations. Their systems process large volumes of data in real time, directly influencing how content is distributed to millions of users.
They are now hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to join a small, high performing team focused on improving the core platform, making it faster, more reliable and easier to scale. This is a hands on engineering role focused on stability, performance and system improvement rather than pure feature delivery.
