NodeJS / TypeScript | Agentic AI | HubSpot
The Job
We’re working with a high-growth technology business looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join their engineering team on an 8-month contract.
This is a senior-level position where you'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, technical direction and delivery, rather than simply working through a predefined backlog.
You'll:
- Build new features and keep the platform fast, stable and scalable
- Drive architecture decisions, then build the solutions yourself
- Lead conversations with engineering, product and commercial stakeholders to shape what gets built, plan the work and flag dependencies
- Lead HubSpot development and review how it fits into the wider tech ecosystem
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For:
- Expert-level NodeJS, JavaScript and TypeScript
- A working understanding of HubSpot
- Confidence with GitHub and GitHub Actions
- Hands-on Agentic AI experience
- A proven ability to lead and influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Strong system design and architecture skills
- A track record of mentoring other engineers
Why You'll Love It
- You'll work with Agentic AI in production on a live commercial system.
- You'll own the platform. It's your platform and your call.
- Your voice will count. You'll sit at the table with engineering, product and commercial leaders.
- You'll hit the ground running. A structured 2–4 week onboarding gets you delivering quickly.
- You'll mentor the team and leave the platform stronger than you found it.
