Overall, Purpose:

As a Back End Software Developer (with Full Stack capability) in the Platform team, youll focus on building secure, scalable, and reusable backend services that power Hubexos global products.

+ Support frontend flows in React/TypeScript when full stack delivery is required (e.g. login UI).
+ Apply secure coding practices and deliver resilient, high-quality solutions.
+ Collaborate with global teams (UK, Lisbon, Sydney, Stockholm) to align solutions and share expertise.
+ Champion DevOps practices: test automation, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
+ Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing across the team.
+ Support agile ceremonies and ensure delivery is transparent and collaborative.

Key Performance Indicators:

+ Back end services are secure, scalable, and deliver value across product teams.
+ APIs and databases are performant, reliable, and well-adopted.
