We are seeking a talented FullStack Engineer for a contract position in the finance sector, based in London. This is a six-month contract role offering £425 per day. The ideal candidate will have strong experience across both front-end and back-end technologies, with a key focus on React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS. This role requires coming into the London office only once per month, allowing for a primarily remote work setup while maintaining some in-person collaboration.
The successful applicant will play a critical role in building, scaling, and maintaining high-performing applications for a dynamic fintech platform. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you’ll be expected to write clean, maintainable code, participate in architectural decisions, and contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes. Previous experience in fintech or the finance industry is highly desirable as it will help you better understand the customer needs, compliance expectations, and data flow processes unique to this domain.
Applicants must be well-versed in modern JavaScript frameworks and be highly proficient in React and Next.js for front-end development. Strong back-end experience with Node.js and a robust understanding of AWS services is essential. You will need to demonstrate an ability to design RESTful APIs, integrate third-party services, and work with both SQL and NoSQL databases within cloud-native environments.
Strong problem-solving skills, excellent communication, and the ability to collaborate closely with product owners, designers, and QA professionals are essential. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, agile methodologies, and version control systems such as Git will be expected. Additionally, prior experience with serverless architecture or containerisation using Docker and Kubernetes would be an advantage.
This opportunity is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership of their work, and enjoys contributing to mission-critical fintech applications. If you're a self-starter looking to take the next step in your contract career and work with cutting-edge technologies in a supportive, innovative team setting—this could be the perfect role for you.
