About The Role
We’re looking for a skilled Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our lean and fast-moving team. This is a development-focused role where you’ll take ownership of bringing ideas to life - writing clean, reliable code and shipping high-quality features across the stack.
You’ll work on everything from building performant frontends to designing scalable backend APIs and managing database architecture. While product thinking is always welcome, your primary focus will be on turning technical requirements into production-ready solutions.

Develop performant and accessible front-end components using React (Vite) + Tailwind CSS
Build scalable and type-safe APIs with tRPC running on Node.js/Express
Model and query relational and search-optimized data using PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch
Contribute to backend architecture, performance tuning, and refactoring work
Collaborate with technical and non-technical teammates to clarify requirements and break down work
Own implementation from development through to deployment and monitoring
You Are
You’re a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving real-world problems through clean, pragmatic code. You’re comfortable wearing many hats and enjoy the variety and pace of startup life. You don’t wait for instruction - you look for opportunities to add value and move things forward.
You Likely Bring The Following
A track record of shipping and supporting features end-to-end, ideally within lean or startup environments
Confidence working across the full stack and willingness to dive into new areas when needed
Clear communication and the ability to work autonomously
Experience working in a small team or solo engineering setup
Essential Experience
Right to work in the UK
5+ years experience leading software development for a SaaS platform
Proven experience with our stack (or strong adjacent experience and the ability to ramp up quickly):

Backend : Node.js, Express, tRPC
Database : PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch
Desired Experience
Previous experience in PropTech and/or start up environments
Understanding of the UK property/construction market would be a huge plus.
