Full Stack Developer in Ashford, Kent

Are you a Full Stack Developer who enjoys building, improving, and maintaining bespoke applications? Do you like working across both new feature development and existing product enhancements? Are you looking for a role where you can be part of a small team and genuinely make an impact?

We are recruiting for a Full Stack Developer to join a growing software business with an established product and a broad client base. This is a hands-on role for someone with around 2-3 years of experience in a development team who enjoys a varied position. You will be involved in both ongoing development and support-related investigation work, helping to improve and evolve bespoke applications while ensuring quality, security, and reliability remain high.

The Role

• Supporting the development and maintenance of bespoke web applications, implementing new features, investigating bugs and data issues, and working closely with internal teams to deliver improvements across the development cycle.
• Alongside strong technical ability, this role needs someone who is thoughtful, thorough, and security-minded in the way they approach software development.

What You Will Be Doing

• Supporting incoming development-related issues and investigating bugs alongside the support team.
• Identifying, documenting, and resolving software bugs and data issues.
• Developing new features and enhancements across existing applications.
• Writing well-structured, maintainable code in keeping with existing projects.
• Testing thoroughly across a range of use cases.
• Producing clear notes and guidance for testers where needed.
• Managing work through project tracking and project management tools.
• Communicating with different teams to help prioritise work and deliver within set development cycles.
• Keeping up to date with modern technologies, security considerations, and software threats.

What We Are Looking For

• Around 2-3 years of experience within a development team.
• Good understanding of web security fundamentals.
• Experience with source control, ideally Git.
• Strong skills across JavaScript / TypeScript, Node.js, Angular, HTML, CSS, and MySQL.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with support teams and management.
• A willingness to learn and adapt within a changing technical environment.
• A quality-focused approach, with an understanding of security best practice and compliance requirements.

Desirable Extras

• Degree in Computer Science or similar.
• Understanding of cloud infrastructure, services, or security.
• Previous web development experience, particularly web applications.
• Exposure to WordPress.
• Additional programming language experience such as PHP or C#.

You will be joining an established software and design agency that has been building bespoke digital solutions for over 30 years. They work with a varied client base from major international organisations across pharmaceuticals, insurance, and public affairs, through to smaller independent businesses which means no two projects ever feel the same.

What really stands out is their approach. Everything they build is tailored. There is no off-the-shelf mindset here; every system is designed around the client, whether that is a responsive website or a fully-fledged management platform.

Alongside client work, they are also investing heavily in their own SaaS product for private practice clinicians, giving you the chance to be involved in something that is growing and evolving internally as well.

It is a business that has a solid foundation, a strong reputation, and a steady pipeline of interesting work but still feels agile, creative, and forward-thinking. A nice environment to be part of, based in a scenic rural setting, with a team that takes pride in what they build.
