Senior Full-Stack Developer, React (Type Script) front end and Node.js (Type Script) back end, on AWS
Fully remote, Northern Ireland based
Salary up to £50,000
Join an early-stage, newly funded EdTech SaaS platform and help shape their product roadmap
Direct collaboration with the co-founder, with real ownership from day one

About the Company

Our client is a UK-based EdTech SaaS platform helping schools strengthen the connection between teachers and parents, spanning parent-teacher meeting scheduling, video calls, pupil data and MIS integration. A small, ambitious team, they have just closed a fundraising round and are scaling their product and engineering function. They are ISO
27001 certified and take data handling and security seriously across everything they build.

The Role

This is a core engineering role within a small, funded EdTech business, working fully remotely from Northern Ireland. You will work across the full stack, React (Type Script) on the front end and Node.js (Type Script) on the back end, backed by Postgres and running on AWS. This isn't a role where you're handed a ticket and told exactly what to build; you'll understand the why behind a feature, decide the best approach, build it well and make sure it works before it goes near production.

You'll collaborate directly with a non-technical co-founder, so clear communication matters as much as clean code.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain front-end interfaces using React 19 and React Router v7, delivering a polished experience for teachers and parents
Develop and extend back-end services using Node.js 22, including integrations with third-party platforms such as Wonde, Postmark, Twilio and Daily
Take features from concept through to deployment, scoping, building, testing and releasing with minimal hand-holding
Own QA for your own work, testing rigorously across devices and edge cases
Collaborate directly with the co-founder on priorities, product direction and technical decisions
Identify and resolve bugs, performance issues and technical debt proactively
Review code via Git Hub PRs, maintaining high standards across the codebase
Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform scales
Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK and containerisation (Docker, Fargate, ECS/ECR)

What You'll Need

Essential:

5+ years' professional experience in full-stack or front-end-heavy development
Strong React 19 / React Router v7 (Type Script), including hooks, state management and component architecture
Solid Node.js 22 (Type Script) back-end experience, with RESTful API design and integration
SQL and Postgres v16+ experience, including Drizzle ORM and lightweight Postgres drivers
AWS infrastructure-as-code experience (AWS CDK) and containerisation (Docker, Fargate, ECS/ECR)
Hands-on with core AWS services: RDS, S3 and Cloud Watch
Git/Git Hub, PR-based workflow, and experience setting up CI/CD pipelines
A proven track record shipping production-quality code in a SaaS or product environment
Excellent written and spoken English, comfortable working asynchronously with a UK-based team

Desirable / Nice to Have:

Experience with EdTech or SaaS products serving the UK education sector
Familiarity with WebRTC/video integrations, AI integrations, or payment platforms such as Stripe or Chargebee

Why Apply?

Up to £50,000 salary
Fully remote working
Genuine ownership of a growing product at an early, exciting stage
Direct collaboration with the co-founder, with your input shaping direction
A small team culture built on trust, honesty and high standards
Backed by fresh funding, with real room to grow alongside the company
An ISO
27001-certified business with a serious, considered approach to data security
