Full Stack Engineer

Tech Lead Full Stack FTE: 12 months | Location: Edinburgh Lead a cross-functional full-stack pod to design, build and migrate enterprise features from Angular to React on the front end and .NET Core on the back end deployed on Microsoft Azure. Own end-to-end delivery quality, architecture implementation, DevSecOps performance and maintainability while mentoring engineers and partnering closely with Product, UX and API teams to deliver a unified scalable global platform. Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership & Architecture - Translate business epics into modular React front ends and .NET Core microservices/APIs selecting appropriate Azure services (App Service, Functions, API Management, Service Bus, Storage, Key Vault, Cosmos DB, SQL, App Insights).
Define and enforce front-end patterns, component architecture, Redux-RTK, routing, accessibility, performance budgets and back-end patterns (DDD, CQRS, MediatR, repository, async I/O). Own API contracts and integration patterns with Voyager, SCRIP and third-party systems, driving API governance, versioning, throttling and security. Champion security by design.
• Delivery & DevSecOps - Set up and optimize CI/CD in Azure DevOps multi-stage pipelines, environments, approvals, blue-green or canary strategies, containerization with Docker, Kubernetes/AKS where applicable. Implement automated testing. Establish observability (App Insights logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, error budgets, SLOs), drive cost and performance optimizations on Azure.
• People Leadership & Ways of Working - Lead sprint planning, story slicing, estimation and risk/dependency management, unblock teams and uphold delivery predictability. Conduct code-design reviews, teach best practices and provide structured growth paths for engineers, front-end, back-end, QA. Collaborate with UX, API Architects, POBA and SRE/DevOps; present architectural decisions to senior stakeholders. Promote AI-assisted SDLC (e.g., GitHub Copilot prompt patterns) to accelerate design, code, tests and reviews.
Core Skill Set
