Hybrid Working (2-3 days per week in the office)

A growing software team is looking for an Intermediate or Senior Developer to help build and evolve technology used across the eCommerce and logistics sector.

The business provides a multi-carrier delivery platform that helps retailers manage parcel tracking, customer queries, delivery issues and claims through a single, customer-focused solution. The team is now growing and looking for another developer to contribute to both new development and the continued improvement of existing services.

Software Developer
Backend / Full-Stack
Southampton, Hampshire - Hybrid, 2-3 days per week in the office
£60,000 - £70,000

This is primarily a backend role, working with TypeScript, Node.js and cloud-based systems. There will also be scope to work across the full stack for someone who wants broader exposure.

The team is also actively exploring how AI-assisted development and agentic systems can improve the way software is built and delivered. You do not need to be an AI tooling expert, but you should be curious about where software development is heading and open to using tools such as Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or similar as part of a modern engineering workflow.

The role
You will join an experienced development team responsible for designing, building, testing, deploying and supporting software used by retailers and logistics providers.
You can expect to be involved in:

  • Building backend services and REST APIs using TypeScript and Node.js
  • Writing clear, tested and maintainable code
  • Contributing to the design and development of new features and services
  • Supporting and improving existing systems
  • Working with product, technical and leadership teams to understand requirements and shape solutions
  • Deploying, supporting and maintaining software and infrastructure
  • Using modern development practices including CI, automated testing, infrastructure as code and containerisation
  • Learning GCP if your current cloud experience is mainly with AWS or Azure
  • Exploring sensible use of AI-assisted development tools within the team's engineering practices


What we are looking for
The role could suit either an experienced mid-level developer ready for more ownership, or a senior developer looking for a hands-on role in a product-focused software environment.
You will need experience with:

  • TypeScript and Node.js
  • Backend API development, ideally with Express, Nest.js or similar
  • MongoDB and/or relational databases
  • Unit testing, such as Jest or similar
  • Cloud platforms, with GCP useful but not essential
  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • CI/CD or continuous delivery environments
  • Infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform or similar
  • Working collaboratively in a software development team


Experience with AWS or Azure is absolutely fine if you are interested in building your GCP experience.

Useful but not essential

  • React or Next.js
  • Kubernetes or serverless environments
  • GitOps principles
  • Feature flags, dark launching or similar release techniques
  • AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code or similar
  • Exposure to LLM-powered agents, APIs or pipelines using tools such as OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain or similar


Why consider it?
This is a chance to join a growing UK development team working on software with real operational use in the eCommerce and logistics market.

You will be joining a team that values good engineering practice, practical problem-solving and continuous learning. The role offers the opportunity to deepen your backend development experience, broaden into cloud and infrastructure, and gain exposure to how AI-assisted development is being adopted in real software teams.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
