Job Description

Posted on: April 6, 2026

Node, TypeScript, React Developer | £70,000 - £84,000 We're working with one of the UK's leading business services providers on this exciting opportunity. This is a high-impact role for a Senior Software Engineer ready to lead a massive technical transformation. You will play a pivotal part in re-platforming a high-traffic system, moving away from legacy Drupal architecture toward a modern, scalable stack built on TypeScript, Node.js, and React. The Role

  • Lead the charge in modernising and scaling the platform through a full-scale migration from Drupal to a modern JavaScript ecosystem.
  • Build robust, scalable applications and microservices using Node.js and TypeScript following clean architecture principles.
  • Contribute to diverse backend services and APIs, gaining exposure to existing Python (Django/Flask) and Laravel environments.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, UX, and DevOps teams to deliver seamless user experiences and high-performance infrastructure.
  • Drive best practices in coding standards, testing, and CI/CD deployment workflows.

What You'll Need

  • 6-8+ years of commercial experience in software development with a heavy focus on Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
  • Proven expertise with modern front-end frameworks, specifically React or Vue.js, to build responsive UIs.
  • Previous experience or exposure to Python (Django/Flask) or PHP (Laravel) is highly advantageous for full-stack versatility.
  • A strong understanding of API design and a background working with CMS migrations (knowledge of Drupal is a massive plus).
  • A mindset geared towards scalability, performance optimization, and architectural excellence.

What's On Offer

  • Competitive salary package (£70k - £84k) plus a comprehensive benefits suite.
  • Remote-friendly working environment that prioritises work-life balance and flexibility.
  • A supportive culture that actively invests in your professional growth and continuous learning.
  • The opportunity to work on a large-scale digital transformation project with tangible business impact.
