How to Stand Out
- Build a mini‑project that demonstrates end‑to‑end TypeScript code: a React front‑end calling a Node/Express API, both deployed via AWS (e.g., using Serverless Framework or CDK). Include a short README with architecture diagrams, Terraform/CloudFormation scripts, and performance metrics to showcase your ability to design scalable, production‑grade services.
- Highlight any experience automating data‑driven reporting with Excel (e.g., generating CSVs from AWS Lambda, using Power Query or VBA for analytics) in your CV and bring a portfolio piece that shows how you turned raw security‑simulation logs into actionable dashboards for stakeholders.
- Prepare concrete examples of how you’ve mentored junior developers remotely—describe the tools (GitHub PR reviews, Pair‑programming via VS Live Share, async code walkthroughs) and measurable outcomes (e.g., reduced onboarding time by 30% or improved code quality scores).
- In the interview, expect architecture‑design whiteboard sessions focused on micro‑service communication, AWS cost optimisation, and CI/CD pipelines. Practice articulating trade‑offs (e.g., Lambda vs. ECS, DynamoDB vs. RDS) and be ready to sketch a high‑level diagram on a virtual whiteboard.
- For salary negotiations, research UK remote senior full‑stack benchmarks (e.g., £100‑£130 k base plus equity) and factor SoSafe’s “human risk management” niche. Present a brief value‑case: your AWS cost‑saving project, mentorship impact, and any security‑simulation domain knowledge that directly reduces client churn, positioning yourself for the upper range or additional RSU grants.
