Fullstack TypeScript Developer in Bristol

We are seeking an experienced Full Stack TypeScript Developer to join our team and help build innovative, cross-platform applications using a unified architecture.

• Build and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs and integrate them across web, desktop, and mobile platforms.
• Apply vibe coding techniques to prototype, iterate, and deliver features efficiently.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define and implement solutions.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested TypeScript code that leverages our shared codebase approach.
• Work with XML and XSL for data transformation and presentation.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement.
