Full Stack Engineer

Summary

Backend-leaning Full Stack Developer on a contract basis, building production APIs with NestJS and React/Next.js frontends using a modern TypeScript stack, for UK-based work with rare London onsite needs.

Full Stack Developer Contract role (Back-end leaning)

Remote: UK-based contractors only

Potential requirement to be onsite in London when needed

This is a hands on role with a strong backend focus, working across a modern TypeScript stack. Financial services or experience working with Private Equity firms highly desirable.

I am looking for UK based contractors that can be on site when needs be(very rare) and have a limited company set up or can do this without sponsorship.

What I’m looking for:

  • 5+ years’ software engineering experience
  • Strong backend experience with NestJS and building production APIs
  • Solid React experience, ideally with Next.js
  • Experience taking features from design through to production
  • Comfortable making technical decisions and working independently
  • Strong communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

TypeScript | Node.js | NestJS | Prisma | PostgreSQL | Redis | React | Next.js | Vite | Tailwind | Stripe | Auth0

The brief is clear that this isn't a pure backend or frontend role. I need someone genuinely comfortable across the full stack, but with a backend bias.
