  • Shape future processes, workflows and engineering strategy


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong Senior/Lead Developer with full-stack JavaScript experience
  • Experience ideally with React, Node.js or express.js
  • C# experience would be great, but not essential
  • Comfortable guiding others and influencing architecture
  • Experience with mentoring, coaching or small-team leadership
  • Exposure to cloud, APIs and AI-enabled system integrations
  • Ambition to grow into a larger leadership role over time


Package

  • £70k–£80k salary + £32k share scheme
