About the Role

My client is seeking a motivated full-stack engineer - someone with a few years of real-world experience who's ready to take ownership of their work and grow within a supportive, pragmatic team.

Most of your time will be spent handling change requests and feature work for our clients: everything from small bugfixes to full new capabilities in our underwriting platform. You'll be trusted to take problems, understand them, and deliver solutions - with the backing of a senior team that's happy to help you learn and succeed.

This is a great fit if you enjoy variety, value autonomy, and want to make a direct impact without layers of bureaucracy.

• Extend and improve our underwriting platform for both new and existing clients
• Work across the stack - from frontend (React) to backend services (Go / Node / TypeScript)
• Collaborate with other developers, product managers, and QA to deliver features
• Help maintain UI and UX consistency across our products
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in production systems
