Job description

Our client is looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join their Experience Team on a contract basis. This is a senior, hands-on role with real ownership, influence and technical leadership on the ground.

You'll act as a hands-on technical lead within the team, supporting delivery while also shaping technical discovery and direction. This role suits someone who is highly technical but equally strong on collaboration, communication and stakeholder engagement. You'll be joining a fast-paced, mature engineering environment, so experience working in larger organisations with established processes is important.

This team owns the end-to-end customer feedback flow, including:

  • Customer feedback and "welcome home" surveys
  • Front-end forms and UI components
  • Data capture and processing
  • APIs feeding back into the pre-book funnel

Tech Stack:

  • Backend: Node.js, AWS (event-driven microservices), Lambda, DynamoDB
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript
  • Architecture: Microservices, event-based systems

The team currently has stronger frontend coverage, so backend expertise is particularly valuable for this role.

Requirements

  • Senior-level Full Stack Engineer experience
  • Strong Node.js backend expertise
  • Solid experience with AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, event-driven architectures)
  • React & TypeScript experience
  • Comfortable leading technical discovery and delivery
  • Strong communication and soft skills
  • Experience in large-scale / enterprise environments

Benefits & conditions

Hybrid working (office once a week), 5 month contract to start immediately, £550-£650pd inside IR35.
