Full Stack TypeScript Developer at Hedgehog Lab, Remote, 8 Weeks, £Contract Rate

Full Stack TypeScript Developer | Contract | Immediate Start | 8 weeks | Remote

You'll be joining a small, experienced team to build something genuinely new from scratch. A real product, for real users, with a hard launch date. If you're the kind of developer who gets energy from shipping rather than deliberating, keep reading.

What you'll be working on

You'll be building a coach booking service for a public sector transport authority, including a promotional website, a passenger booking app with seat selection and payments, and a driver manifest app. You'll see the whole thing go from nothing to live in eight weeks, with the first bus running on 6th September.

What you'll get from this

You'll work directly under an experienced lead developer who will give you clear direction and room to do good work. You'll get genuine greenfield experience across a modern, well-considered stack. You'll ship something real, on a deadline that matters, for an end user who will actually use it. And you'll do it without layers of process getting in the way.

Your tech stack

• Astro + React across all three apps (don't worry if you haven't used Astro before, you'll pick it up fast)

• TypeScript throughout, full stack

• NestJS for the API and business logic layer

• Firebase (Hosting, Firestore, Authentication, serverless functions, real-time listeners)

• Stripe for payments

• SendGrid for email and SMS

• PrimeReact for rapid UI delivery

• Monorepo structure for shared code and components

What you'll bring

• Solid TypeScript and React fundamentals

• A get-it-done attitude, you care more about building something useful than something perfect

• Comfort working at pace and taking clear direction

• Any Firebase or Firestore experience is a bonus, but not essential

• Availability to start immediately
