About the Client & Opportunity
Our client is an industry-leading SaaS business providing critical safeguarding and health software across the UK education sector. Operating a modern stack (React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, MongoDB), they are launching a new product innovation initiative designed to turn operational insights into user-facing, value-add features.
They are seeking a seasoned, product-minded Full-Stack Engineer who thrives on autonomy and taking full ownership of feature lifecycles. You won't just write code—you will bring ideas from early inception to production-ready releases, aligning with internal engineering standards, driving customer value, and measuring real business impact.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Product Delivery: Own the entire development lifecycle, taking feature concepts from inception to production and shipping them directly into users' hands.
- Production Readiness & Alignment: Ensure new product features are fully production-ready, well-tested, and aligned with internal process guardrails.
- Impact & Iteration: Validate ideas in front of customers, monitor real-world performance metrics (e.g., user adoption, revenue impact), and decide whether to scale, pivot, or kill concepts.
- Rapid Prototyping: Leverage modern AI tools to quickly prototype, test hypotheses, and iterate based on live user feedback.
- Data & AI Experiences: Integrate analytics, summaries, and automated reporting into intuitive customer workflows.
Essential Skills & Experience
- 5+ Years of Full-Lifecycle Delivery: Demonstrable track record of delivering user-facing products out into the wild from inception to production across multiple projects.
- Full-Stack Proficiency: Commercial experience across JS/TS front ends (React) and backends/APIs (Node.js/TypeScript).
- Proven Commercial Impact: Able to demonstrate business metrics or tangible outcomes from shipped features (e.g., revenue growth, efficiency gains, or key user metrics).
- Pragmatic Product Mindset: Strong instinct for user experience, knowing when a feature is ready for customers, and learning from experiments that didn't work.
- Modern Tooling & Cloud: Hands-on experience using AI tools for prototyping, paired with practical database (MongoDB/SQL) and cloud deployment (AWS) skills.
Desirable Skills (Nice-to-Have)
- Industry background in EdTech, HealthTech, or regulated data environments.
- Experience running your own venture or founding-engineer experience, with a track record of returning to/thriving in permanent team roles.
- Exposure to building data- or AI-driven capabilities (e.g., LLM summarisation, natural-language reporting).
- Data visualisation tools and experience working alongside analytics/data warehouse platforms.
Key Benefits
- Competitive salary (~£75,000).
- 100% UK remote work setup.
- High level of autonomy with direct influence over product direction.
- Collaborative, experiment-led culture.
- Pension contribution, flexible working hours, and career development budget.
