This is a hands-on technical leadership position, combining full-stack development with ownership of technical direction across projects. You'll:

  • Lead the design, development and delivery of scalable digital products (frontend, backend & infrastructure)
  • Drive technical direction, ensuring solutions are robust, secure and performant
  • Stay close to the code, acting as a senior technical authority within the team
  • Collaborate with Product, Design and Delivery to balance quality, timelines and budgets
  • Engage directly with clients, shaping technical approaches and communicating solutions clearly
  • Mentor engineers and help uplift team capability and standards
  • What They're Looking For
  • Strong experience building modern full-stack applications (JS/TS/Node or similar)
  • Deep knowledge of at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Next.js)
  • Experience designing and delivering scalable, cloud-based systems (AWS, Azure or GCP)
  • Strong understanding of API design (REST/GraphQL), databases and system architecture
  • Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and automated testing
  • Ability to design for non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security, accessibility)
  • Comfortable working in agile environments and leading technical discussions with varied stakeholders
  • Nice to Have
  • Experience with AI-assisted development or building AI-enabled features
  • Exposure to accessibility (WCAG) or system design at scale
  • Interest in emerging technologies and evolving engineering practices
  • Why This Role?
  • Genuine ownership of technical delivery and direction
  • Opportunity to work on complex, meaningful digital products
  • Collaborative, cross-functional environment with strong design and product culture
  • A studio that values craft, curiosity and continuous learning
  • If you're a hands-on Lead Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and building impactful products, this is a great opportunity to step into a high-impact role.

    We're partnering with an award-winning digital product studio known for building beautifully crafted, human centred digital products for global clients. With a strong reputation across design, product and engineering, they deliver impactful work across the full product lifecycle - from early discovery through to large-scale builds.
