Company Description

Caura.com is an £8.8M‑funded London startup backed by Lloyds Banking Group and Jaguar Land Rover’s InMotion Ventures, building the UK’s all‑in‑one car management platform.

Job Description

You will own and elevate Caura.com’s backend platform, architecting scalable distributed systems that serve millions of UK drivers and major partners like Lloyds and Motorway. Working in a small team of experienced startup veterans, you’ll bridge the gap between product vision and secure, event‑driven infrastructure using TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Join a high‑growth scale‑up founded by an ex‑Apple executive and backed by prestigious investors like TwinFocus, Quiet Capital, and the founder of Shutterstock.
• Build the infrastructure behind a 4.8‑star app trusted by tens of thousands of drivers to manage insurance, tolls, and maintenance in one place.
• Work alongside seasoned operators who have successfully exited startups, offering a unique environment for professional growth and high‑impact engineering leadership.

What You Will Do

• Architect and maintain robust, event‑driven microservices using TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS services like ECS, Lambda, and EventBridge.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product and design to turn complex car‑management workflows into seamless, scalable, and secure customer‑facing features.
• Develop critical internal tooling and API integrations that form the backbone of the company’s operations and support major enterprise partnerships.

The ideal candidate

• Deep production experience building and owning distributed systems and RESTful APIs specifically with TypeScript and Node.js.
• Proven hands‑on expertise with AWS infrastructure, including event‑driven architectures, serverless functions, and container orchestration.
• A “scrappy builder” mindset with a history of working in fast‑paced startup environments and the legal right to work in the UK.
