Job description
<p><strong>Senior Software Developer</strong></p><ul><li><strong>£70,000 + benefits</strong></li><li><strong>Grantham - hybrid 2 days per week onsite. </strong></li></ul><p>If you're the kind of developer who enjoys building things properly, not just quickly, this could be worth a look!</p><p>I'm working with a well-funded, growing tech business that's investing heavily in its product and engineering function. They've got a lot going on right now, new features, new ideas, and plenty of scope to shape how things are built rather than just maintaining what's already there. </p><p>It's the sort of environment where good engineers are trusted, listened to, and given the space to do their best work.</p><p>The role itself is a hands-on senior position, working across the full stack on a modern TypeScript-based platform. </p><p>You'll be helping to build and evolve a conversational, AI-driven product, getting involved in everything from front-end UI work through to backend logic, database design, and deployment.</p><p><strong>What's the Day to Day going to be like: </strong></p><ul><li>Building new features across a Next.js and React platform, including workflow tools and real-time functionality</li><li>Developing API routes and server-side logic</li><li>Designing and working with PostgreSQL databases</li><li>Creating clean, responsive user interfaces using modern component libraries</li><li>Writing and improving unit tests and contributing to overall code quality</li><li>Working closely with product and design to ship features iteratively</li><li>Getting involved in architectural decisions and technical direction</li><li>They're also genuinely embracing AI in the development process, so if you're already using tools like Copilot or similar (or keen to), you'll have the chance to push that further here.</li></ul><p> <strong>What you'll need to bring:</strong></p><ul><li>What they're looking for is a senior engineer with solid professional experience who's comfortable across the stack. </li><li>Strong TypeScript and React/Next.js experience is key, along with a good understanding of how modern web applications are put together, from rendering strategies through to APIs and data layers.</li><li>You'll need to be someone who cares about clean code, testing, and building things the right way, but also someone pragmatic who can get things shipped. </li><li>It's a collaborative environment, so being able to communicate well and work closely with others matters just as much as technical ability.</li><li>Tech-wise, you'll be working with a stack that includes Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS, along with modern tooling across testing, CI/CD, and observability. Experience with things like Supabase, Tailwind, or state management libraries would be useful, but not essential.</li></ul><p><strong>What they'll offer in return:</strong></p><ul><li>In return, you'll be joining a business that's investing properly in both its product and its people. </li><li>There's a strong engineering culture, plenty of interesting technical challenges, and real opportunity to influence how things are done.</li><li>The setup is hybrid, with two days a week in their Grantham office and the rest remote, offering a good balance between collaboration and flexibility.</li><li>Salary depending on experience £70,000 + benefits</li></ul><img src="https://www.jobg8.com/Tracking.aspx?KmGIYyL1tv7p4QkWaBRqmKli7S7sRoJ4u" width="0" height="0" />
