Full-time, Bangor + Hybrid working opportunities

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Full Stack Developer to lead technical delivery, combining hands-on development with leadership to build, scale, and support high-quality digital products across a range of client projects.

About the Role

As Lead Full Stack Developer, you’ll play a key role in delivering websites and custom web applications for a wide range of clients and sectors. You’ll work closely with designers, project managers, and developers to define technical approaches, guide implementation, and ensure work is delivered to a consistently high standard.

You’ll take shared ownership of our cloud hosting environment, contributing to decisions around deployment, performance, security, and reliability. You’ll be comfortable working close to infrastructure and helping shape how our platforms are built, deployed, monitored, and supported in production.

Integrate third-party services and APIs

Contribute to internal documentation, standards, and continuous improvement

About You

You’re a confident senior developer who enjoys owning solutions end to end, from code through to production. You’re comfortable discussing infrastructure, deployments, and performance, and you understand how development decisions impact reliability and scalability in real-world environments.

You take a pragmatic approach to DevOps, focusing on automation, resilience, and clear processes rather than unnecessary complexity.
