Lead Full Stack Developer

We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Full Stack Developer to take ownership of a next-generation, EV fleet portal within a rapidly scaling clean-tech business operating at the forefront of commercial vehicle charging infrastructure.

This is a genuine leadership role — you’ll drive architecture, mentor developers, and lead the build of scalable cloud-first applications powering the UK’s transition to electric freight. You’ll be leading a Full Stack Developer and Front-End Developer while remaining deeply technical yourself.

Key duties:

• Leading full stack development across modern JavaScript applications

• Building scalable Jam Stack/API-driven platforms

• Designing cloud-native solutions in AWS (Lambda, ECS, EKS, EC2, S3, RDS)

• Driving best practice across architecture, CI/CD, security, and performance

• Owning backend and database architecture

• Collaborating with engineering, product, and embedded software teams

• Troubleshooting production issues and delivering robust solutions fast

Key skills / experience:

• Previous experience in a Lead or Technical Lead position

• Strong people management and mentoring experience

• Excellent JavaScript ecosystem knowledge — React, Node.js, APIs

• Strong AWS experience is essential.

• Experience building scalable customer-facing platforms

• Background in SME/start-up or fast-paced environments preferred

• EV charging, fleet tech, or low-carbon energy experience highly desirable

This role is heavily AWS-focused. Candidates with primarily Azure experience won’t be the right fit.

This is an opportunity to join a business scaling quickly within one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors — with real ownership, influence, and the chance to build technology that makes a genuine impact
