About the role
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Full Stack Developer to join our team in a high-impact, client-facing capacity. You will be instrumental in architecting and deploying robust, scalable applications for a diverse range of clients across the UK and EMEA. This isn't just a coding role; you are a consultative partner—capable of translating complex business requirements into secure, serverless architectures and presenting best-practice improvements directly to customer stakeholders.
The role is remote but the successful person must be based in the United Kingdom. This is a 6 month contract, with consideration also given to candidates seeking a permanent role.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud-Native Development: Architect and build high-performance web applications using React, Node.js, and TypeScript. You will own the full lifecycle, from frontend UI components to backend business logic.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead the implementation of cloud environments
using Terraform. You will treat infrastructure as a first-class citizen, ensuring all client environments are reproducible, version-controlled, and secure.
Serverless Architecture: Design and deploy event-driven solutions leveraging AWS Lambda and other AWS services. You are expected to be adept at managing serverless state, permissions (IAM), and performance tuning.
AI-Accelerated Workflow: Proactively utilise AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to accelerate delivery, automate testing, and refactor legacy code, while maintaining strict manual oversight for security and quality.
Automation & CI/CD: Build and manage automated pipelines that bridge the gap between application code and infrastructure deployment, ensuring a seamless "push-to-deploy" experience.
Consultative Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert in client "pods" mentoring junior engineers and confidently presenting architectural roadmaps to customer stakeholders.
