Lead Full Stack Engineer / 12-Month Contract / Outside IR35 | Fully Remote (UK)
Day Rate: £800 per day DOE
Contract Length: 12 months
Location: Fully remote, UK based
IR35 Status: Outside IR35
Start: ASAP
We're partnering with a well-funded, fast-scaling business that's about to kick off a greenfield build. They need a Lead Full Stack Engineer who can help shape the technical direction from day one, not just execute someone else's roadmap.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading the technical design and build of a new platform from first principles — no legacy constraints, no inherited spaghetti
- Making key decisions on architecture, tooling, and engineering standards that the wider team will follow as they scale
- Building across the full stack — modern frontend framework, robust API layer, cloud-native infrastructure
- Mentoring and setting the technical bar for engineers joining the team as the build progresses
- Working directly with senior stakeholders — this is a role with real influence, not just delivery

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.
