Job Description:

Senior Full Stack Engineer → Tech Lead Opportunity

React | React Native | NodeJS | MongoDB
Manchester / Hybrid Working | £75,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you a Senior Full Stack Engineer ready to take the next step into leadership?

This is a great opportunity for someone who already operates as a technical go-to person in their team and is now looking to step into a genuine Tech Lead role. You’ll remain hands-on with development while taking ownership of a small engineering team, influencing technical direction and helping shape how software is delivered across the business.

The role sits within a well-established digital and engineering function, working on modern web and mobile applications used at scale.

Tech Stack

• React
• React Native
• NodeJS
• MongoDB

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading and mentoring a small team of developers
• Remaining hands-on across full stack development
• Providing technical direction, code reviews and engineering best practice
• Delivering and enhancing web and mobile applications
• Collaborating with architecture, infrastructure and wider digital teams
• Supporting continuous improvement of engineering standards and delivery

This is not a purely managerial role - it’s ideal for a strong Senior Engineer who still enjoys coding but wants more ownership, responsibility and influence.

What They’re Looking For

• Strong commercial experience with React, NodeJS and MongoDB
• Exposure to React Native (or mobile development experience)
• Proven background as a Full Stack Engineer
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior/mid-level engineers
• Natural leadership ability within technical teams
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Formal line management experience is not essential - the key requirement is technical credibility combined with the ability to support and guide others.

Why This Role?

• Genuine step up into Tech Lead responsibility
• Opportunity to remain hands-on technically
• Established, stable business with long-term investment in tech
• Collaborative engineering culture with strong team tenure
• Large-scale digital environment with varied technical challenges
• Hybrid working model
