Smartedge’s Client is looking for an individual to help with their Senior/ Principle Full Stack Engineer @Manchester, UK/ Hybrid Working
Job Description
We are supporting a leading global footwear retailer in establishing dedicated Marketplace and Conversion Optimisation squads to accelerate digital commerce improvements ahead of Peak.
We are seeking exceptional Senior/Principal Full Stack Engineers who combine deep technical expertise with strong product thinking and software craftsmanship.
This is a hands-on engineering role. Successful candidates will spend the majority of their time designing, building and shipping production software while embedding modern engineering practices within the squad.
These engineers are expected to act as Engineering Catalysts—leading by example, improving engineering quality, accelerating delivery and raising the capability of the wider team through day-to-day delivery.
This is not a traditional senior developer role. We are looking for engineers who think beyond tickets, understand customer outcomes and help create high-performing engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver Customer Outcomes:
- Design, build and deploy scalable, secure and cloud-native applications across Marketplace and Conversion domains.
- Work closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, Data Analysts and QA to understand customer problems and translate them into technical solutions.
- Deliver customer-facing capabilities that improve conversion, customer experience and commercial outcomes.
- Take ownership of features from discovery through production.
