Full Stack Developer (Python/Django + React)
Full Stack Developer - Ground Breaking London Based LegalTech Scale Up - £75k - £90k + Bonus / Remote
Cracking opportunity for a seasoned Full Stack Developer to join a pioneering Legal Technology business that has just secured Series C funding.
We're looking for a Full Stack Developer to join the clients product engineering team and help buildout a mission-critical SaaS platform used by leading global law firms and fund managers. This is a hands-on role where you'll have real ownership, real impact, and the opportunity to work across the full product stack.
You'll be involved in building features end-to-end — from designing and developing Python/Django APIs, through to crafting modern React/TypeScript interfaces that are used daily by sophisticated, professional users. The focus is on building things properly: clean, maintainable code, sensible architecture, and features that scale as the platform grows.
You'll work in a collaborative, product-led engineering environment alongside Product Managers, Project Managers, QA, and fellow engineers, contributing ideas as well as code. The role includes exposure to an AWS-hosted environment, background processing, and data-driven features, giving you a broad and interesting technical surface area without expecting you to be a specialist in everything.
We're looking for someone with strong working knowledge across the stack, a pragmatic mindset, and a genuine interest in building high-quality software. For the right person, there's clear scope to take on more technical ownership over time and grow into a senior or Tech Lead-type position as the team and product continue to evolve.
If you enjoy variety, ownership, and building products that solve real problems — rather than just shipping tickets — this is a role where you can really shoot the lights out.
