  • Build front-end components as needed to integrate and test features end to end.
  • Collaborate with the product manager and other developers in agile sprints.
  • Contribute to architecture and technical decisions across the full stack.
  • Support testing, iteration, and refinement throughout alpha, beta, and live phases.

  • Familiarity with authentication (OAuth2, JWT) and data privacy best practices.
  • Exposure to performance monitoring or observability tooling.

What’s in it for You

  • Remote-first, flexible setup (UK time zone or close ).
  • A rare opportunity to shape a greenfield product from architecture to release.
  • Competitive day rate, with options for ongoing involvement.
  • A small, fast-moving team that values initiative, autonomy, and engineering quality.
