Title: Lead Software Engineer

Company Sector: Fintech (SaaS)

Tech: TypeScript, Node, React, Next, GraphQL, AWS

WFH / Hybrid: Fully Remote (once a quarter to London & Edinburgh)

I’m hiring a Lead Engineer to take full technical ownership of a high-impact, public-facing platform used across the UK public sector to meet statutory climate reporting requirements.

This is a chance to own the architecture, drive delivery, and shape a national service with real environmental impact. You’ll operate with huge autonomy and work directly with design, product, and policy teams. If you like building meaningful systems and making big decisions, you’ll love this.

What You’ll Do

Lead the build of a complex reporting platform end-to-end
Own front-end + API integration, dynamic forms, validations, workflows, and exports
Make key architectural decisions that set the direction for the entire system
Work independently and run your own delivery cadence
Align with cloud teams on integration, APIs, and infrastructure
Ensure high standards: accessibility, security, performance, reliability
Turn legislative requirements into clean, intuitive digital journeys

What We’re Looking For

6+ years engineering, including 2+ in a senior/lead role
Deep experience in React, TypeScript, Node, and scalable app architecture
Strong background building structured, form-heavy, data-driven UIs
Comfort working in secure cloud environments (AWS ideal)
Strong accessibility + usability grounding (WCAG 2.1)
Someone decisive, product-minded, and happy leading with minimal oversight
Bonus: experience with public-sector design systems or climate/sustainability work
