The Role

Reports to: Technical Lead

Location: WeWork Waterloo, London - Hybrid 

Comp: Negotiable (Base) + Company Performance Bonus (10%) + Share Options + UK iProov Benefits

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will report directly to the Technical Lead and take ownership across the core architecture of our Enterprise Identity Portal. Operating within an AI-first engineering environment, you will heavily leverage AI code assistants (such as Claude, ChatGPT, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development cycles, rapidly prototype features, refactor complex UI states, and run automated security reviews.

Sitting at the intersection of high-performance backend API services and responsive, polished client interfaces, this role requires an engineer with a strong desire to solve complex enterprise security challenges, such as Zero Trust access controls, token revocation, and input validation—combined with a creative mindset focused on producing software that brings true delight to users.

Core Technology Stack

Frontend & UI Architecture:

• React v19, Next.js v16 (app Router), Typescript, TanStack Query v5, ViTest
• Backend Services & Persistence

How you can make an impact 

Core Mission: Build secure, scalable full-stack identity workflows using modern C#, Web API and React v19, pairing daily with AI coding assistants while maintaining strict zero-trust code quality.

Full-Stack API & UI Engineering:

• Design, build, and optimize secure, high-throughput REST APIs in C# Web API utilizing Dapper ORM for high-performance mapping over T-SQL / SQL Server databases.
• Develop modular, highly responsive frontend components using React 1 9, Next.js 1 6, and TypeScript, utilizing TanStack Query v5 for server-state synchronization.
• Architect Backend-For-Frontend (BFF) layers to cleanly isolate frontend client logic from core backend security boundaries.

AI-Assisted Engineering & Verification:

• Actively pair with AI code assistants (Claude / ChatGPT) for context-aware code generation, component refactoring, test generation, and architectural brainstorming.
• Enforce a strict zero-trust verification loop over all AI outputs to guarantee type safety, OWASP vulnerability defense, and performance standards.

Enterprise Security & Audit Pipeline:

• Enforce rigorous authentication and authorization postures (JWT tokens, ApiKey schemes, single sign-on) and block malicious inputs using FluentValidation.
• Implement privacy-safe structured auditing via Serilog, capturing critical system lifecycle events while strictly preventing PII leakage.

Creative UX & User Delight:

• Apply creative design thinking to turn complex biometric registration, MFA, and identity governance tasks into intuitive, seamless user journeys.
