Software Developer (Python, React) - Chester - Hybrid

Software Developer (Python, React) - Build a Greenfield Cloud Platform From the Ground Up!

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 orchestration

Modern. 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 independently

Bonus (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
