Senior Developer – Remote UK/Europe – Node.JS

Buto is looking to add an enthusiastic engineer to its team of experts. We run an enterprise online video platform on AWS which is used by high-profile clients including Rugby Football Union, Mitsubishi, Deloitte and the Financial Conduct Authority. Our platform serves over 5 million API requests per day and processes over 2 million analytics metrics, on top of delivering terabytes of video content.

You’ll be joining the platform at an exciting time in its growth cycle, so we’re looking for someone with flexibility and a ‘can-do’ attitude who’s ready to learn more; somebody with a GitHub profile that shows they really love what they do.

We run an Agile ship with GitHub continuous integration and continuous deployment.

We love the AWS platform and use it heavily:

EC2, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, DynamoDB, Lambda, S3, SQS, CloudFront, VPC …

Our technology stack consists of:

React and Angular (Gulp + Grunt)

PHP (ZF, Cilex and Silex)

Node.js

Docker (we love Docker) on AWS Linux

MySQL and MongoDB

Memcache and Redis

Slack, GitHub, CircleCI, NewRelic, Docker Hub, Zendesk…

This is your chance to work on a cutting-edge, high availability, high technology platform with a small, tight-knit team of awesome engineers.

Oh, did we mention we offer remote working? All of our dev team work from home, and come into the Birmingham office about once every two weeks.
