Due to continued growth, we are now seeking a Full Stack Developer to join our existing DevOps team. You?ll bring in depth Web (front and back end) and App Development experience, ideally with the foundation and ambition to grow into a leadership role.

• Build and maintain full-stack applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React (class-based and functional), TypeScript, PHP, SQL, and RESTful APIs.
• Contribute to front-end, back-end, and mobile app development, ensuring seamless system and database integration.
• Write clean, responsive, and secure code, following best practices in performance, accessibility, and maintainability.
• Manage frameworks, libraries, and dependencies, staying on top of updates and security vulnerabilities.
• Use Git version control effectively, with good habits around branching, merging, and reviewing code.
• Support CI/CD pipelines, debugging tools, and efficient deployment methods across the development cycle.
• Promote smart problem-solving - recognising when to custom build and when to use off-the-shelf solutions.
• Take part in code reviews, unit testing, and continuous refactoring to ensure a healthy, scalable codebase.
• Collaborate in Agile sprints, contributing to planning, retrospectives, and process improvements.
• Over time, grow into a role where you help shape architecture, guide junior team members, and influence tech direction.

What we?re looking for

• Strong full-stack development skills across HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React (class-based and functional), TypeScript, PHP, SQL, and RESTful APIs.
• Confidence in designing technical architecture and turning functional requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions.
• Ability to build accessible, responsive front-end experiences based on UI/UX designs (e.g. using Figma).
• Familiarity with modern development processes including Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, and version control.
• Solid understanding of secure coding practices and maintaining clean, up-to-date codebases.
• Comfortable writing and optimising SQL queries and working with relational databases.
• A proactive mindset when it comes to flagging technical debt and aligning development with wider business goals.
• Security-conscious approach to coding and development practices.

Bonus if you have experience with:

• iOS and Android app development - especially using Java (Android) and Objective-C (iOS).
• Mentoring/supporting junior developers and contributing to collaborative code reviews.
• Agile Scrum methodologies, including sprint planning and retrospectives.
• Proclaim (Eclipse) case management system or working in a conveyancing/legal tech environment.

What you?ll get in return

• Opportunity to step into a leadership role, with exposure to mentoring and cross-team collaboration.
• The chance to work on high-impact, exciting projects - not just BAU maintenance.
• Part of a small, UK-based team with extensive overseas support, where your contributions are visible and valued.
• 25 days? holiday (plus bank holidays).
• Discretionary company bonus plus benefits including free conveyancing, discounted mortgage advice, staff discounts, wellbeing initiatives, social events, and more.
