Full Stack Engineer

We’re working with a growing UK technology platform looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to take ownership of an important production engineering project.

This is aCambridge-based hybrid role, so applicants must be able to work on-site in Cambridge on a regular basis.

The initial focus will be designing and implementing multi-role RBAC / permissions architecture within an existing platform, alongside broader improvements across the application.

The stack

• TypeScript
• Node.js / Express
• Next.js / React
• GitHub Actions

(Equivalent technologies and transferable experience will be considered)

What you’ll be doing:

• Design and implement role-based access control across an existing application
• Define roles, permissions and access rules across different user types
• Make associated database/schema changes and migrations
• Implement secure API and frontend permission handling
• Build and own product features and user workflows end-to-end
• Improve application architecture, reliability, security and test coverage
• Work directly with product and leadership on technical decisions and trade-offs
• Integrate new functionality into an existing production codebase
• Take ownership of changes from database and backend through to frontend and production

What's needed:

• Commercial TypeScript experience across frontend and backend
• Commercial React and/or Next.js experience, including building application interfaces and user workflows
• PostgreSQL / relational database knowledge
• Previous experience implementing RBAC, permissions, authorisation or complex access-control systems
• Experience owning database schemas, migrations and backend/API changes
• Experience building and owning full-stack product features end-to-end
• Experience making architectural changes to an existing production application
• Able to work hybrid from Cambridge

Experience with SaaS, marketplace, multi-tenant or multi-stakeholder platforms would be particularly useful.
