  • Support testing, iteration, and refinement throughout alpha, beta, and live phases.

Your profile

What You’ll Need

We’re looking for someone with:

  • 4+ years of experience in full stack development (JavaScript/TypeScript preferred).
  • Proficiency with React (or similar) on the front end and Node.js, Express, or similar on the back end.
  • Solid experience working with RESTful APIs, databases (e.g. PostgreSQL or MongoDB), and Git-based workflows.
  • A clear understanding of secure, modular, and testable architecture.
  • Experience delivering end-to-end features in agile, iterative teams.

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Worked in a regulated or financial services environment (e.g. WealthTech, FinTech, InsurTech).
  • Experience deploying to cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Vercel, or Heroku).
  • Familiarity with authentication (OAuth2, JWT) and data privacy best practices.
  • Exposure to performance monitoring or observability tooling.

What’s in it for You

  • A rare opportunity to shape a greenfield product from architecture to release.
  • Remote-first, UK time preferred
  • Competitive day rate, with options for ongoing involvement.
  • A small, fast-moving team that values initiative, autonomy, and engineering quality.
