Senior Full Stack TypeScript Engineer Once a week near Bath (flexible) Up to 65k

They’re looking for someone confident across the TypeScript stack (Node.js & React) who feels comfortable working full stack. You might already be operating at Senior level, or you could be a high-end Mid-Level Engineer ready to step up into a role with more ownership and impact.

If you’re motivated by meaningful work, enjoy improving and evolving products, and want to be part of a purpose-driven team, this could be a brilliant next move.

What you’ll need

• Strong experience across the TypeScript stack (Node.js & React)
• Confidence managing sizeable features end-to-end
• Solid understanding of architecture and good development practices
• Comfortable working full stack, with the ability to lean backend or frontend
• Experience in (or enthusiasm for) small, collaborative teams
• A genuine desire to build products that have a positive social impact
• Willingness to work on a hybrid basis with once-a-week visits to the Bath area (with flexibility either side!)

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to combine strong engineering with meaningful impact.
