Midweight Engineer

Mid Weight Software Developer -Help Build Software That Solves Real World Problems

I'm working with a growing UK software business that is transforming the way organisations manage fire and building safety compliance.

Their platform is trusted by many of the UK's largest property owners, managers and consultancies, helping modernise an industry that has traditionally relied on outdated, document driven processes. Instead, they're building intelligent software that makes critical safety data easier to capture, manage and act upon.

With a strong product, an established customer base and exciting growth plans, they're now looking for a talented Mid Weight Software Developer to join the team.

The Opportunity

This is an ideal role for an engineer who's ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll join a collaborative engineering team where you'll have genuine ownership over the product, work closely with experienced technical leaders and play a key role in supporting and mentoring junior developers.

This isn't an environment where you'll simply work through tickets. You'll be encouraged to understand customer problems, contribute ideas, influence technical decisions and build solutions that have a tangible impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building new platform features across modern web applications
• Enhancing and modernising existing systems
• Developing APIs and backend services
• Supporting integrations with third party platforms
• Mentoring and reviewing code for junior developers
• Investigating and resolving production issues
• Contributing to architectural discussions and technical planning
• Improving engineering standards, tooling and development processes
• Collaborating with Product, Customer Success and technical leadership

What They're Looking For

Essential

• Commercial experience as a software developer
• Strong understanding of modern web application development
• Experience building backend services and APIs
• Experience working with relational databases
• Ability to write clean, maintainable and well tested code
• Strong debugging and problem solving skills
• Experience working within existing codebases
• Experience using Git and modern development workflows
• AWS or other cloud platform experience
• Previous experience mentoring or supporting junior developers
• Excellent communication skills
• Experience using AI developer tools to improve productivity

Nice to Have

• TypeScript
• Node.js
• React
• PHP
• REST API design
• CI/CD pipelines
• Automated testing
• Security and authentication best practices
• Experience modernising legacy applications
• Experience working within regulated industries

You'll Thrive Here If You...

• Enjoy taking ownership rather than simply completing tasks
• Like mentoring others and helping teammates grow
• Balance quality with pragmatism
• Are curious and enjoy solving complex technical problems
• Communicate well with both technical and non technical colleagues
• Want to help shape a product rather than just build features

Why Join?

• Work on software with genuine real world impact
• Join a collaborative, close knit engineering team
• Learn from highly experienced technical leaders
• Have real influence over product and technical direction
• Excellent opportunity for career progression as the engineering team continues to grow
• Friendly, supportive culture with plenty of autonomy and ownership

If you're looking for a role where you can make a meaningful impact, grow your technical leadership skills and help build a product that solves complex real world challenges, I'd be happy to tell you more.
