Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Full-Stack Engineer - **Company:** MyEdSpace - **Location:** London, UK (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** £75,036.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Java (Programming Language), PHP (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Code Review, Continuous Integration, Node.Js, Software Architecture, Software Tools, TypeScript, Cloud Platform System, ReactJS, Backend, Containerization, Front End Software Development - **Published:** August 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5822573916 ## About the Role * Strong full-stack engineering experience - Deep backend experience in Java, Node.js, or another modern stack, paired with solid React + TypeScript skills. You're as comfortable building services as you are building the UI that sits on top of them. * AI-augmented engineering - You use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow to accelerate development and explore solutions faster. But you retain strong engineering judgement - you review, challenge, and harden AI-generated code before it reaches production. AI amplifies your thinking; it doesn't replace it. * Engineering fundamentals over frameworks - You think in terms of system design, data modelling, trade-offs, and long-term maintainability. Languages and frameworks are tools - not identity. * Multi-stack pragmatism - Our platform spans Java, Node, React, and some existing PHP systems. You're comfortable working in real-world production environments and improving systems incrementally as architecture evolves. * Architectural maturity - You understand boundaries, contracts, invariants, and how local decisions impact system coherence over time. * Production ownership - CI/CD, containerisation, cloud environments (AWS), observability - you're comfortable owning code beyond merge. * Value-driven mindset - You care about solving the right problem sustainably, not just shipping features. ## Description * Building well-structured, testable backend services and clean, reusable frontend components - with attention to performance, usability, and long-term maintainability. * Contributing to a multi-stack production environment, improving existing systems thoughtfully while helping evolve the overall architecture. * Modelling domains, defining boundaries, and contributing to architectural decisions that keep the system coherent as it scales. * Using AI tools to accelerate development - while reviewing, validating, and refining generated code before it reaches production. * Owning work beyond feature delivery: CI/CD, observability, performance, and production behaviour. * Participating in code reviews and technical discussions with a focus on clarity, trade-offs, and engineering judgement. * Improving reliability, security, and operational robustness as the platform grows. * Raising the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback, pragmatic decisions, and steady improvement rather than dramatic rewrites. 1. People Team Intro (30 mins) A conversation with our recruitment team to get to know each other better. You'll learn more about MyEdSpace and how we work, while we'll explore what motivates you, how you like to collaborate, and whether our ways of working align. 2. Coding Exercise (take-home, 2-3 hours) A take-home exercise to assess practical engineering skills - architecture, clean code, testing, and problem-solving. We strongly encourage you to use AI coding tools during the exercise. 3. Technical Interview (1 hour) We'll review your coding exercise together and use it as a springboard into a deeper conversation about your engineering approach - past projects, technical decisions, and systems thinking. This session is joined by our tech leads and/or another engineer 4. Culture & Collaboration Interview (45 mins) A closing conversation with our VP of Engineering to assess team fit, communication style, and alignment with our values and ways of working. Our values PUT INTEGRITY FIRST Honesty matters. Tell the truth, and be straight-up. Be transparent and do the right thing. This builds respect and reliability for our students, families and team members. KNOW YOUR COORDINATES Understand where you are and where you want to get to. Know your strengths and acknowledge your gaps. Think from first principles. Question things, and never pretend to know what you don't. RAISE THE BAR Own it and get it done. Do better. Iterate quickly and seek feedback. Deliver real value. Be excellent and lift others up. Share learnings and help your teammates improve. LOVE TO BE WRONG Push boundaries. Be outside your comfort zone. Naturally you'll get some things wrong and that's okay. Embrace feedback. Learn from it and get closer to excellence. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
