Senior React &.NET Technical Lead Opportunity
6-Month Contract | Hybrid (London Waterloo)
£600 to £800 per day inside IR35 via umbrella
We're seeking a highly experienced Senior React &.NET Technical Lead to join a major transformation programme, helping drive the migration of an existing application into a modern React-based architecture.
This is far more than a traditional development role. You'll play a key part in defining the technical vision, shaping architecture, leading the migration strategy, establishing infrastructure and deployment pipelines, and mentoring engineers throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Contract Details
- Initial 6-month contract
- Strong extension potential up to 3 years
- Hybrid working
- London Waterloo
- Competitive day rate
The Opportunity
You'll be leading the migration of an existing application currently running within a Databricks environment to a scalable, enterprise-grade React and.NET solution.
The successful contractor will combine hands-on engineering expertise with technical leadership, taking ownership of solution design, delivery approach, and team guidance.
You'll be joining an established engineering function of around 12 engineers and will play a critical role in driving best practices across application development, architecture, DevOps, and modern software delivery.
