Bored of writing code no one outside engineering ever sees the impact of? This one's different.
The Advocate Group is partnering exclusively with a high growth, leading FMCG business to find a Full Stack Engineer to join their in-house technology team. This is a business scaling fast, investing seriously in its digital platforms, and looking for someone who can build across the stack while sitting comfortably in a room with stakeholders who don't speak code. You'll be central to shaping the tools and platforms that support the next phase of the company's growth — genuinely visible work, not background maintenance.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing, building and shipping features across the full stack, from front end through to back end and database
- Working directly with Product, Project Management and non-technical stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions
- Operating within an Agile framework (sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, retros, the lot)
- Writing clean, well-tested, maintainable code and reviewing others' work to keep standards high
- Helping shape technical decisions and architecture as the platform scales
- Adapting quickly as priorities shift — this is a fast-moving environment, not a set-and-forget one
- Chipping in on the reduction of technical debt as you go, rather than leaving it for someone else
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for:
- Proven full stack development experience, comfortable moving between front end and back end
- Strong communicator — someone who can talk to stakeholders as easily as they talk to other engineers
- Genuinely agile in how you work: comfortable with ambiguity, changing requirements and fast iteration
- Adaptable mindset — happy to pick up new tools, frameworks or ways of working as the business needs them
- A collaborative approach; you'll be working closely with Product, Project Managers and fellow developers
- Solid grasp of modern software engineering practices (version control, testing, code review)
