About the Role:

We're hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to design, build and deliver digital features end-to-end. We are looking for someone with a Strong product engineering mindset, with experience working directly with Product Managers and Designers to discover, prototype, test and deliver fan-facing digital experiences. Able to use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards of quality, security, accessibility and performance.

You'll own the journey: technical approach, implementation, testing, accessibility, performance and security. AI accelerates the work; you remain accountable for it. Your code is handed to our external development partner for review and release, so the bar is production quality from day one.

This is a role for a full stack developer who enjoys ownership, product thinking and building well — not just shipping fast. You'll help us experiment quickly, validate ideas with real users and turn successful concepts into production-ready experiences.

What you'll do:

What you'll bring

Essential     Strong commercial experience shipping modern web and app applications end-to-end     Excellent Type Script and React. Familiarity with Next.js or similar modern React frameworks is a plus     

Experience with React Native     

Experience with headless CMS platforms (Contentful preferred) and API integration     Solid grasp of software architecture, testing, accessibility, security and performance     Confident using modern AI-assisted software development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Git Hub Copilot or equivalent) as part of daily delivery, with the judgement to validate their output.
Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate delivery, automate repetitive tasks, improve code quality and rapidly validate concepts. Comfortable working within design systems and shared component libraries     Proven ability to balance technical excellence, user experience and business outcomes when making implementation decisions. Git, CI/CD and collaborative code review workflows

Desirable     Experience designing Contentful content models     Experience interpreting designs from Figma and rapidly converting them into working prototypes     Experience collaborating directly with Product Managers and Designers in discovery and validation activities     Cloud experience (AWS, Azure)     Familiarity with ASP.NET Core, C# or similar enterprise web backends     Working alongside external development or engineering partners     Automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, E2E, visual regression)     Understanding of security, privacy and responsible use of AI tools when working with proprietary code, supporter data and confidential information     Analytics/experimentation tooling     Agile product delivery
