Job description

Full-Stack Engineer - Product Focused - new initiatives

Location: UK (100% Remote)

Level: Mid-Senior

About the Client & Opportunity

Our client is an industry-leading SaaS business providing critical safeguarding and health software across the UK education sector. Operating a modern stack (React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, MongoDB), they are launching a new product innovation initiative designed to turn operational insights into user-facing, value-add features.

They are seeking a seasoned, product-minded Full-Stack Engineer who thrives on autonomy and taking full ownership of feature lifecycles. You won't just write code—you will bring ideas from early inception to production-ready releases, aligning with internal engineering standards, driving customer value, and measuring real business impact.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Product Delivery: Own the entire development lifecycle, taking feature concepts from inception to production and shipping them directly into users' hands.
• Production Readiness & Alignment: Ensure new product features are fully production-ready, well-tested, and aligned with internal process guardrails.
• Impact & Iteration: Validate ideas in front of customers, monitor real-world performance metrics (e.g., user adoption, revenue impact), and decide whether to scale, pivot, or kill concepts.
• Rapid Prototyping: Leverage modern AI tools to quickly prototype, test hypotheses, and iterate based on live user feedback.
• Data & AI Experiences: Integrate analytics, summaries, and automated reporting into intuitive customer workflows.
• 5+ Years of Full-Lifecycle Delivery: Demonstrable track record of delivering user-facing products out into the wild from inception to production across multiple projects.
• Full-Stack Proficiency: Commercial experience across JS/TS front ends (React) and backends/APIs (Node.js/TypeScript).
• Proven Commercial Impact: Able to demonstrate business metrics or tangible outcomes from shipped features (e.g., revenue growth, efficiency gains, or key user metrics).
• Pragmatic Product Mindset: Strong instinct for user experience, knowing when a feature is ready for customers, and learning from experiments that didn't work.
• Modern Tooling & Cloud: Hands-on experience using AI tools for prototyping, paired with practical database (MongoDB/SQL) and cloud deployment (AWS) skills.
• Industry background in EdTech, HealthTech, or regulated data environments.
• Experience running your own venture or founding-engineer experience, with a track record of returning to/thriving in permanent team roles.
• Exposure to building data- or AI-driven capabilities (e.g., LLM summarisation, natural-language reporting).
• Data visualisation tools and experience working alongside analytics/data warehouse platforms.
• Competitive salary (~£75,000).
• 100% UK remote work setup.
• High level of autonomy with direct influence over product direction.
• Collaborative, experiment-led culture.
• Pension contribution, flexible working hours, and career development budget.
