Senior Full Stack Developer - Outside IR35
TypeScript, React, Node.js Contract
3 months initially
Fully Remote (Edinburgh-based company) £400-£450 per day
We're working with a well-established technology business based in Edinburgh to find a Senior Full Stack Developer for an immediate contract engagement.
This is a capacity play, not a transformation project. A delivery team needs an experienced pair of hands to clear a backlog of well-defined, high-volume tickets and unblock broader progress. The work is scoped, the architecture is established, and you can expect to contribute meaningfully within days of starting.
The role
You'll join an Embedded product squad working across the full stack in TypeScript, React and Node.js (Express). The codebase runs on AWS with MongoDB and an MVC-style architecture, and leverages Bitbucket and Jenkins for CI/CD. Testing matters here - you'll write well-tested code and help raise the team's overall standard.
AI-assisted development is part of the workflow, not a buzzword. If you're already using tools like Cursor or Claude day-to-day, you'll fit right in.
What you'll need
- Strong full-stack background at mid to senior level
- TypeScript across the stack - React on the front, Node.js/Express on the back
- Practical AWS and MongoDB experience
- Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Jenkins)
- Solid testing capability - TDD, unit and integration tests
- Used to working within established squads and switching context across small tickets
- Able to hit the ground running - this isn't a role for a slow ramp
The detail
- 3-month initial contract, strong likelihood of extension based on delivery
- Fully remote - work from anywhere in the UK
- £400-£450/day | Outside IR35
- Immediate or very short notice preferred
