As a Senior Software Engineer at Caura, you will own the evolution of an all‑in‑one car management platform used by millions. You'll architect distributed systems and build scalable services for major partners such as Lloyds Banking Group and MoneySuperMarket. Join a high‑agency team of experienced founders to simplify vehicle ownership through technical excellence.
Why this role is remarkable

- Take full ownership of a modern stack including Svelte, Node.js, and AWS event‑driven architecture with the autonomy to shape the product roadmap.
What you will do
- Architect and operate scalable distributed macroservices using TypeScript and Node.js within an event‑driven AWS environment (ECS, Lambda, EventBridge).
- Collaborate directly with design and product teams to translate future visions into stable, secure internal tools and consumer‑facing features.
- Drive engineering excellence by defining platform architecture, spotting production issues early, and experimenting with AI tools to accelerate development workflows.
Ideal candidate
- Extensive production experience building robust APIs and microservices using TypeScript and Node.js as a primary backend focus.

- A "scrappy builder" mindset with previous experience in fast‑paced startups, comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking end‑to‑end ownership of complex features.
