Backend Developer

Standardised patterns from intake * build * QA * deploy * measure. Secure by default, GDPR-safe, compliance-ready.

Full-stack workflow automation

Scalable GraphQL APIs, integrations, event-driven systems, monitoring/logging, error handling, and documentation that scales beyond you.

What you'll build (real scope)

• High-concurrency APIs and reliability mechanisms (retries, idempotency, queues)
• Event-driven systems that don't drop data
• Dashboards/reporting surfaces that remain consistent under load
• Cloud-ready architecture across GCP (with minimal AWs for asset management)
• Systems designed to ship fast, stay robust, and scale cleanly

What success looks like

• Features ship fast without hacks
• The system scales from 10 * 10,000+ users with confidence
• Reliability is visible: monitoring, alerts, error tracking, runbooks
• Security is default: permissions, audit trails, GDPR-safe practices
• Clear scoreboard: uptime, latency, error rates, queue health, enterprise readiness metrics, Role: Senior Backend Developer Type:Fixed Term Employment (1year) Location: UK (Remote) Client:Tavant Technologies Mandatory Skills - Java, Spring Boot Experience 8+ years Job Description We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer with strong experience in Java,..., We are looking for an experienced Senior Backend Developer to play a key role in the development of our Digital Production Office® platform and related payroll systems used across the film, television and media industries.
