Fullstack Developer (Node/React)

Why You’d Like it
If you are tired of being a small cog in a massive corporate machine, this is the change of pace you’ve been looking for. This role offers genuine, end-to-end ownership of a proven SaaS product that is already live in over 20 countries. You’ll have the autonomy to "own the ship" rather than just follow a ticket backlog, setting the technical direction and guiding the platform’s scalability as it enters its next phase of growth. 

The Story
The platform is in an exciting sweet spot, it is established and stable, yet highly innovative. Having recently integrated AI features that allow users to query data directly, the focus for 2026 is on strengthening enterprise product-market fit and exploring new frontiers in brand tracking. With a lean engineering presence in a wider insights-driven business, there is a clear need for a technical leader to step in and drive these improvements home.

Company Profile
This is a world-class insights and research agency that blends deep human understanding with advanced technology. They aren’t a "dev-heavy" shop, which means the technical team has a massive impact on how the broader business delivers value to global clients. The culture is supportive, social, and values life outside of the office, maintaining a premium workspace and a high level of flexibility for its people.

• Experiment with and implement AI integrations for advanced data analysis.

Your Fit

•  A background working in a product-led environment where you’ve seen what "good" looks like.
    
• Strong skills in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with a solid grasp of systems thinking.
