About the Company

A fast-growing UK-based organisation is building software to support the delivery of high-integrity environmental solutions. Their clients include major developers and infrastructure providers, and the company is scaling rapidly. A core focus is on developing reliable internal tooling for pricing, compliance, quoting, and stock availability.

The Opportunity

They're looking for a hands-on Senior Full-Stack Engineer to take ownership of the first production-ready version of their quoting and automation platform. This includes database design, backend development, and a robust front-end that internal teams can rely on daily. You'll be responsible for architecture, implementation, deployment, and ensuring reliability from day one.

Key Responsibilities

Quoting & Optimisation Engine

Implement logic for pricing BNG/NN units, including rule-based calculations (e.g. adjacency, trading caps).
Build systems that intelligently allocate available stock based on multiple constraints (e.g. location, pricing).
Ensure pricing models are fully traceable and auditable for compliance.

Automation & Data Pipelines

Automate tasks like stock updates, KPI reporting, and pricing refreshes.
Refactor internal data sources into structured, versioned SQL-backed models.
Develop helpers to process geographic and regulatory data layers (e.g. GIS overlays).

User-Facing UI

Build a reliable, performant front-end for non-technical commercial users.
Develop middleware to surface business insights.
Implement role-based access control, usage tracking, and exportable outputs (PDF/CSV).

Platform Engineering & Security

Set up authentication (SSO preferred), RBAC, audit trails, and security best practices.
Own CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and system monitoring from the start.

Tech Stack & Experience

Essential

Strong full-stack background: TypeScript with React (or similar), Python (FastAPI) or Node.js (NestJS).
Data: PostgreSQL preferred; solid experience with schema design, migrations, and performance tuning.
Cloud/DevOps: Azure or AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, IaC tools (Terraform/Pulumi).
Security-first mindset: OAuth/OIDC, token auth, logging, and secure architecture.
Testing & Docs: Confident with writing tests, documenting APIs, and delivering production-grade systems.
