Senior Software Engineer (Remote - UK)

About the Team:

As a Senior Software Engineer at Netlify, you'll join a thoughtful, collaborative team that values continuous learning, mutual support, and shared growth. Together, we create tools that help developers build faster, more intuitively, and with greater impact.

Our team owns the core product experience at Netlify - from our React-based web application to AI-powered workflows, SDK, CLI, and extensions. If users interact with it directly it's likely ours. We're reimagining how developers experience web development by thoughtfully integrating AI into our workflows - not as a novelty, but as a practical tool that enhances how we build the web.

In this role, you'll contribute to a welcoming and inclusive engineering culture, help design user experiences that serve millions of developers, and work closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional teammates to build, iterate, and scale meaningful solutions. You'll have the autonomy to drive projects forward while collaborating regularly with diverse teams across the organization.

What You'll Do:

• Use your expertise in full-stack development (TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, and React) to ship reliable, scalable, performant code across our product suite
• Lead medium-sized projects from conception to delivery, writing RFCs and managing project timelines
• Build and maintain user-facing features and product APIs that scale to serve millions of developers worldwide
• Apply foundational engineering practices - testing, documentation, observability, and performance optimization - while pragmatically leveraging AI tools to enhance your development workflow
• Navigate ambiguity with curiosity, contributing to both early-stage prototypes and production-ready applications that directly impact user experience and business metrics
• Work with domains, DNS, and certificate management systems to ensure reliable and secure user experiences
• Practice proactive async communication and create visibility across projects by documenting your workflows and decision-making clearly
• Participate in code reviews, on-call rotations, and continuous improvement efforts to reduce technical debt and maintain high engineering standards
• Collaborate regularly with cross-functional teams to design and implement user flows that enhance the developer experience across our platform

What You'll Bring:

• Strong expertise in TypeScript and JavaScript, with experience developing and maintaining production-quality software in modern full-stack environments
• Proficiency with Go for backend services and API development, with a thoughtful approach to reliability and performance
• Hands-on experience with React and modern frontend development practices
• Familiarity with domains, DNS, and certificate management, with an understanding of how these systems support end-to-end functionality
• Background with Ruby and Rails is helpful, though not required
• Extensive production experience delivering features and services that serve large user bases
• Experience writing high-quality, testable code that’s reliable and maintainable over time
• Comfortable using and experimenting with AI-assisted development tools, with a sense for when and how to apply them effectively
• Experience contributing to open-source projects or working in public codebases is a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in asynchronous, remote-first environments
• Critical thinking abilities and a solution-oriented approach to complex technical challenges
• A collaborative approach to problem-solving with curiosity about how your work supports teammates, users, and broader goals
• Growth mindset and openness to learning new tools, technologies, and best practices
• Passion for working in a collaborative environment with diverse teams across distributed locations

This Role is a Great Fit If:

• You are based in the UK, and are comfortable collaborating with globally distributed teams
• You're energized by building user-facing products and features that directly impact millions of developers' daily workflows
• You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with your team, and cross-functionally to turn ideas into reality
• You enjoy the autonomy of senior-level work - leading projects, writing RFCs, and driving technical decisions while staying connected with your team
• You see ambiguity as a creative opportunity and can navigate uncertainty while building practical solutions
• See AI as a multiplier for your skills, not a shortcut — and can articulate where it helps, where it doesn't, and how you use it.
• You’re excited by new tools, challenges, and o
