Senior Backend Node.js Developer
Manchester, Greater Manchester, England
I'm looking for a senior backend Node.js developer to join a SaaS business in Manchester for the next 3 months.
The role is working across a new greenfield platform in a small development team. The role is outside IR35, and infrequent office visits for key meetings will be required in central Manchester.
I'm looking for someone who's got experience blasting through a load of tickets as part of an ongoing feature development roadmap for this new platform. The majority of the work will be Node.js and Typescript with AWS. Any wider fullstack experience with React/Next.js would be beneficial but this is overall a backend leaning role.
3 months initially, outside IR3, mostly remote.
