Software Engineer, Backend Developer

Software Engineer (Mid-Level)

Industry: Digital Platforms / Data & SaaS Products

I'm recruiting for a well-established Nottingham-based technology company that's continuing to grow its engineering function as demand for its digital platforms increases. This role is ideal for a mid-level Software Engineer who's comfortable building backend services, but still wants the support and mentorship of a strong senior engineering team.

You'll be joining an engineering team of around 15 developers, working in a collaborative, supportive environment where learning, code quality, and steady progression are genuinely encouraged.

• Building and maintaining scalable backend services and APIs
• Developing new features and improving existing systems
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Collaborating closely with frontend engineers, Product, and Design
• Taking part in code reviews and technical discussions
• Improving system performance, reliability, and security

Projects include API-first platforms, data-driven services, and internal tooling that supports customer-facing applications.
