Lead Full Stack Developer, Birmingham

We’re looking for a hands‑on Lead Full Stack Developer to take ownership of a next‑generation, EV fleet portal within a rapidly scaling clean‑tech business operating at the forefront of commercial vehicle charging infrastructure.

This is a genuine leadership role — you’ll drive architecture, mentor developers, and lead the build of scalable cloud‑first applications powering the UK’s transition to electric freight. You’ll be leading a Full Stack Developer and Front‑End Developer while remaining deeply technical yourself.

• Leading full stack development across modern JavaScript applications
• Building scalable JamStack/API‑driven platforms
• Designing cloud‑native solutions in AWS (Lambda, ECS, EKS, EC2, S3, RDS)
• Driving best practice across architecture, CI/CD, security, and performance
• Owning backend and database architecture
• Collaborating with engineering, product, and embedded software teams
• Troubleshooting production issues and delivering robust solutions fast

• Previous experience in a Lead or Technical Lead position
• Strong people management and mentoring experience
• Excellent JavaScript ecosystem knowledge — React, Node.js, APIs
• Strong AWS experience is essential.
• Experience building scalable customer‑facing platforms
• Background in SME/start‑up or fast‑paced environments preferred
• EV charging, fleet tech, or low‑carbon energy experience highly desirable

This role is heavily AWS‑focused. Candidates with primarily Azure experience won’t be the right fit.

This is an opportunity to join a business scaling quickly within one of the world’s fastest‑growing sectors — with real ownership, influence, and the chance to build technology that makes a genuine impact.
