Senior Software Engineer, Manchester

Senior Full Stack Engineer → Tech Lead Opportunity React | React Native | NodeJS | MongoDB

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.

• React
• React Native
• NodeJS
• MongoDB

• 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
• 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
