Senior Software Engineer

MCS Group is working with a growing technology business in the UK building a cloud‑native platform used by well‑known global organisations, in their search for a Senior Full‑Stack Software Engineer. This is a ground‑breaking e‑learning platform and the technology is a core strategic investment area and central to their future growth of our client. This is a perfect opportunity for an experienced full‑stack software engineer with commercial exposure to either Go or Rust to join a small, high‑growth team working remotely within the UK.

The Role

As a Senior Developer, you'll play a key part of a highly collaborative engineering team building and evolving the systems that underpin the company's core platforms. This is genuine full‑stack engineering; from front‑end features through to back‑end services and infrastructure.

You'll work with modern, cloud‑native technologies and have real ownership over features that directly impact business growth and scalability.

• Frontend: React, Next.js
• Backend: TypeScript / Node.js and Rust
• Cloud: AWS (managed and serverless services)
• Infrastructure: Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
• Databases: PostgreSQL and DynamoDB
• Practices: TDD, CI/CD ownership, trunk‑based development, with a big emphasis on pair programming

Our client's engineering team are actively using AI‑powered development tools (including Claude and GitHub Copilot) and are keen to hire engineers who see AI as a productivity accelerator.

The Person

• You’ll have strong commercial experience as a Software Engineer (ideally with some time spent at senior level)
• You’ll have solid experience with TypeScript and Node.js
• Experience building modern React / Next.js applications (other front‑end frameworks considered)
• Hands‑on AWS experience and ideally experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
• Strong understanding of testing and modern engineering practices

Super nice to have

• Experience with Rust (or an interest in learning it)

Circa £60,000 with a full benefits package including remote working within the UK.
