Location:
Birmingham, West Midlands (County)
Salary/Rate:
£70,000 - £80,000/annum

We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Full Stack Developer to take ownership of a next-generation, EV fleet portal within a rapidly scaling clean-tech business operating at the forefront of commercial vehicle charging infrastructure.

This is a genuine leadership role — you’ll drive architecture, mentor developers, and lead the build of scalable cloud-first applications powering the UK’s transition to electric freight. You’ll be leading a Full Stack Developer and Front-End Developer while remaining deeply technical yourself.

Key duties:

• Leading full stack development across modern JavaScript applications
• Building scalable JamStack/API-driven platforms
• Designing cloud-native solutions in AWS (Lambda, ECS, EKS, EC2, S3, RDS)
• Driving best practice across architecture, CI/CD, security, and performance
• Owning backend and database architecture
• Collaborating with engineering, product, and embedded software teams
• Troubleshooting production issues and delivering robust solutions fast

Key skills / experience:


• Previous experience in a Lead or Technical Lead position
• Strong people management and mentoring experience
• Excellent JavaScript ecosystem knowledge — React, Node.js, APIs
• Strong AWS experience is essential.
• Experience building scalable customer-facing platforms
• Background in SME/start-up or fast-paced environments preferred
• EV charging, fleet tech, or low-carbon energy experience highly desirable


This role is heavily AWS-focused. Candidates with primarily Azure experience won’t be the right fit.

This is an opportunity to join a business scaling quickly within one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors — with real ownership, influence, and the chance to build technology that makes a genuine impact.
