Job description

If you are tired of corporate tape, endless meetings, and waiting two weeks for a Business Analyst to hand you a perfectly manicured ticket before you can write a line of code - keep reading.

At Little Hinges, we are transforming the property market by turning physical spaces into actionable digital intelligence. We don't just build world-class virtual tour platforms; we process massive amounts of property data from capture sources to build automated data pipelines and industry first property valuation models with millions of unique inspections every month.

We are a fast-paced scale-up on a mission and our roadmap is packed with incredibly cool, complex problems to solve, and we prioritise momentum and capability over hierarchy and lengthy processes.

We're now on the hunt for a Intermediate Full Stack Developer

We have a new project infront of us, and it's an exciting one! A platform that needs to talk to a lot of systems: property and real estate software, government and data partners, payments, our own capture apps and AI models. We’re looking for a developer who wants to own features from start to finish.

What you’ll do

Build features on our new platform end to end, from scoping and design through to testing, release and support.

Design and scale a new database, data models and relationships

Design, build and maintain integrations with third-party APIs and partner systems, making them reliable, secure and well documented.

Work with internal teams and external partners to understand what they need, clarify requirements and keep delivery moving.

Scope your own work: understand the commercial “why”, identify edge cases, write the tickets, execute.

Work closely with our Senior Engineer, Head of R&D, CEO and the wider tech team on technical direction and priorities.

Actively use AI coding tools and agents in your day-to-day work, and help evolve how we use them as a team: shaping workflows, context and guardrails so we ship faster without sacrificing quality.

Fix bugs, improve performance and build internal tools that make the business run smoother.

Who you are

A self-starter who owns the outcome, not just the ticket.

Comfortable working with stakeholders. You can talk through requirements with a non-technical person, push back when needed and keep everyone updated.

Calm in ambiguity. When requirements aren’t fully defined, you ask the right questions and make sensible trade-offs.

Organised and communicative, with good habits around documentation and keeping work visible.

AI-curious and hands-on. You’re always experimenting with new tools and approaches, and you share what works so the whole team gets better.

Keen to grow. You’ve got solid foundations and want to keep stretching into bigger, more complex problems.

Experience required

2 to 4+ years of commercial full stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js (NestJS ideally) and React/Next.js.

Experience building and consuming REST APIs, and integrating with third-party services (auth, webhooks, rate limits, error handling).

Relational Database Modelling and Implementation

Working knowledge of relational databases and an ORM such as Prisma.

Experience shipping features to production and supporting them after launch.

Regular use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar) in real projects, with a habit of reviewing and verifying generated code.

Clean Git practice: structured changes for review, comfortable rebasing and resolving conflicts.

Familiarity with CI/CD and automated testing.

Nice to have

Experience on a greenfield or rebuilt platform.

AWS, Docker and infrastructure as code (Terraform).

Observability tooling (Datadog, PostHog, Sentry or similar).

Exposure to proptech, real estate or data-heavy products.

Previous startup or scale-up experience.
