Full Stack Developer

Full Stack Developer (Product-Focused)

Build systems that run real businesses.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer to join our inhouse team and help build and evolve our core operational platform, used daily across a large, complex automotive services business.

You’ll work on real operational problems involving people, pricing, workflows, and client-specific requirements. You’ll own solutions end to end, from UI through to backend logic.

If you enjoy autonomy, variety, and building software that actually gets used and relied on, this role will suit you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Owning and delivering features across our internal and customer-facing platform
  • Building bespoke functionality for large clients with real operational constraints
  • Designing clean, intuitive interfaces with a strong focus on usability
  • Working across the stack, from database and APIs through to browser
  • Integrating with third-party systems and external APIs
  • Making pragmatic technical decisions within an established architecture
  • Improving performance, reliability, and maintainability over time

You won’t be expected to redesign the platform from scratch.

You will be expected to take ownership, think critically, and deliver high quality solutions to real problems.

Essential experience

  • Strong experience with React and Next.js (App Router)
  • Solid JavaScript and TypeScript knowledge
  • Strong front-end instincts and attention to UI and UX quality
  • Experience with Tailwind CSS and component-based UI libraries (e.g. ShadCN)
  • Comfortable writing and understanding SQL Server queries
  • Experience working across both front-end and back-end codebases

Desirable (nice to have)

  • Experience with C# and SQL Server
  • Familiarity with Azure
  • Experience building or consuming APIs
  • Understanding of web security best practices
  • Exposure to Redis, caching, or performance optimisation
  • Experience with PWA concepts
  • Comfortable using tools like Bitbucket and Slack

How we work

  • Small, focused in-house development team
  • Modern stack with room to influence how things evolve
  • Pragmatic engineering over theory
  • Close collaboration with commercial and operational leaders

Why join us

  • Your work will directly impact how the business operates day to day
  • You’ll build systems that support real people, not just dashboards
  • You’ll have visibility, trust, and ownership
  • You’ll work on multiple meaningful projects, not endless tickets
  • You’ll have genuine influence over how things are built, not just what’s built

Benefits

  • Private healthcare
  • Company bonus linked to business performance
  • Dedicated self development budget to invest in courses, programmes, or learning that genuinely improves your skills
  • High degree of autonomy and trust in how you work
  • Remote working

Location and flexibility

Primarily remote with occasional in person meet ups for team collaboration.

Candidates must be based in the UK.

Salary

£55k - £75k dependant on experience.
