Description
About the opportunity
- We’re looking for a Lead Full Stack Developer to be the senior-most hands-on engineer in a delivery team. You’ll personally design and build the most complex, highest-risk features across the web and back-end services that power Core Group’s omnichannel platform, while raising the technical standard of the wider engineering team through strong design, code review and mentorship.
What you’ll be doing
- Design and build complex end-to-end features across Angular/React front ends, .NET/C# and Node.js services, and SQL/NoSQL data stores.
- Contribute production code regularly and set the technical standard by example.
- Build and maintain back-end APIs and services used by web and native mobile clients, with clean, well-versioned contracts.
- Translate solution architecture into detailed component, API and data designs that the team can implement.
- Lead code and peer reviews, champion automated testing, clean code, maintainability and secure engineering practices.
- Mentor engineers and help strengthen technical craft without formal line-management responsibility.
- Design and build integrations between e-commerce, trade-in and POS and core ERP/OMS/WMS/CRM platforms using Azure integration technologies.
- Support production issue resolution and technical readiness for peak trading and major product launches.
- Technology stack
- Front end: Angular and React
- Back end: .NET / C# and Node.js
- Data: SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB
- Cloud: Microsoft Azure
- Integration: Azure Integration Stack with ERP / OMS / WMS / CRM platforms
What we’re looking for
- Degree in Computer Science or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years in full-stack software development, including recent experience as a senior or lead engineer.
- Deep hands-on experience across Angular, React, .NET/C#, Node.js, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and/or Cosmos DB.
- Strong Azure and integration experience, including API design and versioning.
- Excellent technical design, code-quality, testing and secure-coding discipline.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to mentor and influence other engineers.
Advantageous
- Retail, e-commerce, POS or omnichannel experience.
- Experience building on Azure and the Azure Integration Stack at scale.
- Experience delivering through high-demand events such as product launches and peak trading.
What will make you successful
- You are still deeply hands-on, enjoy the most difficult technical work and naturally raise the quality of everyone around you.
How we work
- We value customer focus, getting things done, teamwork, innovation, integrity, passion and embracing differences. We’re looking for people who bring those values into the way they solve problems, collaborate and deliver.
- Please note: These roles may require occasional out-of-hours support during peak-trading and major product-launch windows, as well as occasional travel between offices or supported markets.
