Senior Full Stack Engineer (React / TypeScript) - Contract

Senior Full Stack Engineer (React / TypeScript) - Contract

Start date: early September

A short, high-ownership contract for a senior engineer who wants to build across the stack and own their part of it.

The role

You'll build across the stack in TypeScript with React on the front, owning a self-contained area of the build end to end.

You'll make the technical calls on your area, work at pace alongside the wider team, and keep everyone in the loop as things move.

What's in it for you

• Full ownership of your own area, not tickets on someone else's design

• A modern React and TypeScript stack, front to back

• A focused engagement with a clear delivery date

• Remote-first, with office space available when it helps

Essential experience

You'll need all of these to hit the ground running:

• Strong commercial TypeScript, front and back

• Deep React experience on the front end

• Back-end Node (Express or NestJS)

• Designing and building scalable APIs and cloud-native applications

• Owning an isolated area of a build while staying joined up with a fast-moving team

• Strong, proactive communication

The details

• Contract length: 3-6 months

• Outside IR35

• Remote-first. We just ask that you're within 50 miles of one of our UK offices (Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or London), or within 50 miles of Bucharest, Iasi or Cluj.

• Senior level. We'd consider a principal or lead at a higher rate for the right fit
