About Borderless

We believe in a world where borders are no longer barriers, where anyone can move anywhere, seamlessly and safely.

Since launching in mid 2023, Borderless has scaled to over 350 UK businesses and has supported thousands of individuals across industries such as healthcare, construction, technology & finance.

Our platform streamlines the UK sponsorship process, automating what used to be a slow, complex & expensive process with modern technology backed by an expert team.

We’re backed by some of the UK’s leading investors (Entrepreneur First and Backed.VC) and growing quickly.

Location

We are based in Hoxton, London and operate a “office-first” hybrid model:

• We have 3 days in the office per week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday)
• We’re big believers in the benefits of an in-person culture, read about why here

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced full-stack engineer (backend focus) to work closely with our founders and engineers to design and improve the platform that helps people effortlessly migrate around the world.

As one of our founding engineering team members (joining a team of 5), you’ll be instrumental in helping us build out the platform. This is due to incredible early traction and now we are building our platform to scale beyond our initial customer base.

We believe in empowering our engineers to have autonomy over both product and engineering decisions.

What will I do?

Reporting directly into Jonathan (CTO and cofounder) you’ll:

• Help shape, design and build high-value features that allow employers to hire internationally easily and help people migrate to the UK seamlessly

• Innovate and bring tech and product ideas to the table, optimising for impact and velocity.

• Contribute to the architecture design and implementation of backend and frontend systems.

• Lead the technical direction of projects, aligning with the company's strategic goals, and contribute to long-term planning and decision-making.

• Optimize the performance, scalability, and efficiency of systems, ensuring they meet the demands of a growing user base.

• Work to integrate our product with different API’s & third party tools

• Mentor new team joiners and help them develop their skills as we grow

Our tech stack is:

• Node.js

• Typescript

• NextJS/ReactJS

• PostgreSQL

• AWS

👩‍💻 You should apply if:

Please note, if you don’t meet all the requirements but think you could be a good fit, we encourage you to apply.

• You ideally have experience developing and deploying production-level software in a greenfield stage of a SaaS product
