Senior Full Stack Engineer → Tech Lead Opportunity
React | React Native | NodeJS | MongoDB Manchester / Hybrid Working | £75,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Are you a Senior Full Stack Engineer ready to take the next step into leadership?
This is a great opportunity for someone who already operates as a technical go-to person in their team and is now looking to step into a genuine Tech Lead role. You’ll remain hands-on with development while taking ownership of a small engineering team, influencing technical direction and helping shape how software is delivered across the business.
The role sits within a well-established digital and engineering function, working on modern web and mobile applications used at scale.
Tech Stack
* React
* React Native
* NodeJS
* MongoDB
What You’ll Be Doing
* Leading and mentoring a small team of developers
* Remaining hands-on across full stack development
* Providing technical direction, code reviews and engineering best practice
* Delivering and enhancing web and mobile applications
* Collaborating with architecture, infrastructure and wider digital teams
* Supporting continuous improvement of engineering standards and delivery
This is not a purely managerial role - it’s ideal for a strong Senior Engineer who still enjoys coding but wants more ownership, responsibility and influence.
What They’re Looking For
* Strong commercial experience with React, NodeJS and MongoDB
* Exposure to React Native (or mobile development experience)
* Proven background as a Full Stack Engineer
* Experience mentoring or supporting junior/mid-level engineers
* Natural leadership ability within technical teams
* Strong problem-solving and communication skills
Formal line management experience is not essential - the key requirement is technical credibility combined with the ability to support and guide others.
Why This Role?
* Genuine step up into Tech Lead responsibility
* Opportunity to remain hands-on technically
* Established, stable business with long-term investment in tech
* Collaborative engineering culture with strong team tenure
* Large-scale digital environment with varied technical challenges
* Hybrid working model
