This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced developer who thrives in a technical leadership role - someone who enjoys setting architectural direction, mentoring engineers, and remaining hands‑on with code.

The role :

• Lead the design and development of full stack web applications using React and TypeScript on the front end, and Java / Spring on the back end.
• Drive a key front‑end migration project to deliver a cleaner, faster, and more scalable user experience.
• Define and uphold best engineering practices, performing code reviews and ensuring high‑quality, maintainable code.
• Mentor and support junior and mid‑level developers, fostering collaboration and growth across the team.
• Ensure performance, scalability, and security across all deployed applications.

About you :

• 7+ years’ commercial full stack development experience
• 2+ years in a senior or technical leadership capacity
• Strong experience with React, TypeScript, Java, Spring, and Hibernate
• Knowledge of RESTful APIs, SQL, and front‑end tooling (Redux, React Query, testing frameworks)
• A passion for clean architecture, reusable code, and exceptional user experience

Why join :

You’ll be joining an established technology business operating on a global scale, working with a highly skilled engineering team who value collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. This is a great opportunity to make a real impact - owning architecture, guiding modernisation, and shaping product direction.

Benefits include :

• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Private health insurance and life cover
• Enhanced maternity / paternity leave
• Sick pay
• Ongoing training and development support
