About The Role
We're seeking an experienced Senior Full Stack Engineer with a desire to grow towards an engineering manager and a drive to help build a fast moving start-up - contributing to the disruption of traditional consultancies by delivering pragmatic and effective technical leadership and hands-on engineering, helping our clients scale their business operations.

Alongside delivering the roadmapped goals you will be working on innovative AI solutions utilising the latest technologies to succesfully deliver client value. We expect you to contribute to the planning, execution and review of the roadmapped goals; both being able to asses and manage projects at a high level whilst being able to get your hands dirty.
