Full-Stack Software Engineer (Backend-Focused)

Job Description

About Us:
We’re a privately owned online travel agent with a small, friendly team working out of a converted stately home. We value a down-to-earth, collaborative approach.

What You’ll Do:
You’ll focus on rebuilding our legacy system and developing our high-volume travel pricing platform. While you’ll occasionally help with front-end tasks, your strength should be in backend development, systems architecture, and integrations. Note: maintenance of our legacy PHP system is very limited—just a few hours per week.

Key Responsibilities:
System Rebuild:
Modernize our legacy system while keeping PHP maintenance to a minimum.
Backend & Full-Stack Development:
Build and maintain backend services using C# and PostgreSQL for our complex travel pricing engine.
Assist with front-end work (Node/React) as needed to ensure smooth integration.
Contribute to Python-based AI projects for content generation.
DevOps & Systems Integration:
Use your Linux command line skills along with Docker, AWS, and DevOps know-how to keep our systems robust and scalable.
Team Collaboration:
Take projects from idea to completion within our small, flat team.
Participate in regular code reviews to keep our code clean and reliable.

What We’re Looking For:
Backend Expertise:
Proven backend development experience (C# and PostgreSQL preferred) with verifiable work history.
Strong understanding of systems architecture and integrations.
Full-Stack Skills:
Ability to handle front-end tasks (Node/React) when required, with a primary focus on backend work.
Familiarity with Python for AI projects is a bonus.
Technical Know-How:
Hands-on experience with Linux command line, Docker, AWS, and DevOps practices.
Advanced use of Git and other standard development tools.
Work Style:
A self-starter who can drive projects from start to finish.
Comfortable picking up new tech as needed.

What We Offer:
A clear hybrid working model: 2 days in-office, 3 days remote.
The opportunity to work on challenging projects in a dynamic, friendly environment.
A flat, collaborative team where your contributions truly matter.
