We’re working with a large-scale, technology-led business investing heavily in a greenfield cloud-native platform build, and they’re looking for a hands-on Lead Full Stack Engineer to play a key role in shaping the platform from the ground up.
React is central to the user experience, and you’ll be operating across the wider platform, working closely with .NET backend services, cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and engineering teams to deliver scalable systems end-to-end.
What you’ll be doing:
- Building and scaling a modern React / Next.js application at the core of the platform
- Contributing to micro-frontend architecture (Module Federation)
- Working closely with backend engineers on API design, data flow, and system integration
- Developing and integrating with .NET / C# backend services
- Contributing to Infrastructure as Code and deployment automation using Terraform
- Deploying and supporting applications within AWS (CloudFront, S3, etc.)
- Designing performant, scalable user experiences for a high-traffic platform
- Staying hands-on while contributing to technical direction within your squad
What they’re looking for:
- Strong experience with React / Next.js in production environments
- Solid exposure to .NET / C# backend development (APIs, services, integrations)
- Experience working within micro-frontend architectures or similar scalable frontend patterns
- Strong AWS experience across deployment, infrastructure, and cloud services
- Experience with Terraform / Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Strong grasp of API-driven architecture and frontend/backend interaction
- Experience building scalable, high-performance platforms
- Comfortable operating as a senior, hands-on engineer within a product-led team
The environment:
- Greenfield build – no legacy constraints, built properly from day one
- Modern engineering practices across frontend and backend
- Product-led squads with high ownership and autonomy
- Platform being built at genuine scale, not a side project
If you’re an engineer who enjoys owning the frontend experience while understanding and contributing to the backend platform, this is a strong opportunity to get involved in something meaningful from the start.
