Location: North West (Remote/Hybrid Options)
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000
Tech: Python * FastAPI * React * TypeScript * GCP * Docker * Postgres
Sector: SaaS / EnergyTech

🔥 Join a team that's redefining the future of the UK's power & utilities sector.

We're partnering with a fast‑growing UK SaaS business that's building a cutting‑edge, cloud-native platform used at the heart of multiple major utility companies across the country.

This is genuine greenfield work - no legacy systems, no duct tape, no tech debt holding you back.

Think:
⚡ Building the digital core of next‑generation power & utility companies
⚡ High‑impact engineering that touches millions of customers
⚡ Modern tech, modern practices, modern culture

If you're a Python developer who craves real technical ownership, this is your playground.

👨‍💻 The Role - Software Developer

Whether you're a budding Junior or a seasoned Senior, there's room for you here.

You'll be building and owning features end‑to‑end across a modern, cloud‑native stack - working with a highly capable engineering team who care about quality, design principles, and doing things the right way.

You'll be doing things like:

Designing and developing scalable back‑end systems in Python
Building clean, intuitive front‑ends with React & TypeScript
Creating and optimising APIs using FastAPI
Contributing to architectural discussions and greenfield system design
Working hands‑on with GCP, CI/CD pipelines, microservices & containerised deployments
Collaborating in a remote‑first, engineering‑led environment🧰 The Tech Stack

The team chooses the best tool for the job, with a strong bias toward open-source. You'll work with:

Python (3.5+), FastAPI, type hints & dataclasses
TypeScript & React (v18+)
Postgres
Google Cloud Platform (Pub/Sub, Load Balancer, Cloud Run)
Cloud Build - automated CI/CD
Docker - containerisation & service orchestrationModern. Clean. Future‑proof.

✔️ What You'll Bring

You don't need everything - just a strong foundation and a willingness to grow.

Required:

1+ year of commercial software development
Solid back‑end development skills (Python ideal)
Front‑end experience with modern frameworks
Strong understanding of relational databases
Knowledge of cloud fundamentals (CI/CD, cloud services)
Problem-solving mindset and high coding standards
Comfortable working remotely and independentlyBonus (not required):

System architecture or cloud-native design
Terraform exposure
Docker experience
GCP familiarity🎉 Why This Role Stands Out

Genuine greenfield - very rare in this sector
Impactful - powering critical systems used across the UK
Forward-thinking tech - modern stack, modern culture
Autonomy - your ideas matter
Career progression across multiple levels
Remote-friendly, flexible environment

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
