Full Stack Software Engineer - React, Next.js & Node.js
Industry: Asset Management
Location: London
Work Setup: Hybrid - 3 days office based / 2 days WFH

We have an exciting new opportunity for a Full Stack Software Engineer ideally with React, Next.js and Node.js to join Robert Walters as a Consultant.

As a Consultant, you will benefit from permanent employment with Robert Walters and will be deployed on an assignment with one of our clients, a British multinational asset management company. In return we will provide you with the opportunity to develop your skills with ongoing training and professional support.

The Role:
Are you a pragmatic, hands-on Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys building modern digital products and solving complex business problems?

We're looking for a versatile engineer to join our client's Client Engagement & Digital Content Platforms team, working on modern digital platforms that support content management, distribution, search, analytics and client engagement across a global organisation.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working across the full technology stack - from React and Next.js on the frontend through to Node.js, APIs and cloud-native services on the backend.

You'll have genuine ownership across the software development lifecycle, from design and development through to testing, deployment, monitoring and production support.

What you'll be doing:

• Build and maintain modern full stack applications using React.js, Next.js and Node.js
• Develop responsive, accessible and high-performing digital experiences
• Design and build backend services, APIs and integrations
• Work across the full SDLC, including design, development, testing, deployment and production support
• Build and maintain automated tests and contribute to strong engineering standards
• Support CI/CD pipelines, DevOps and Infrastructure as Code
• Work with cloud technologies and cloud-native architectures
• Use AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity, software quality and delivery
• Monitor and support production applications, improving performance, reliability and maintainability
• Integrate with Headless CMS platforms and SaaS services
• Work closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, UX, Marketing, Sales and Digital stakeholders
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including planning, refinement, showcases and retrospectives
• Evaluate emerging technologies and identify practical opportunities to improve products and engineering processes
• Take ownership of technical solutions from initial idea through to delivery

You'll ideally bring:

• Proven experience developing and supporting modern full stack applications
• Strong commercial experience with React.js
• Experience with Next.js or a similar modern web framework
• Strong Node.js backend development experience
• Experience building and consuming APIs and integrations
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, design patterns and maintainable architecture
• Experience with cloud technologies - Azure would be advantageous
• Experience with CI/CD, DevOps and Infrastructure as Code
• Understanding of automated testing and modern quality engineering practices
• Experience integrating with Headless CMS platforms
• Familiarity with application monitoring, observability and production support
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience working within Agile development teams
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Experience that would set you apart:

• Financial services or other regulated environments
• High-traffic digital platforms and websites
• SaaS-based search providers
• Python
• Serverless and cloud-native architectures
• AI technologies and modern AI engineering practices
• Marketing, Sales or Digital technology environments
• Working with globally distributed engineering teams
• AI & modern engineering

AI is becoming an increasingly important part of modern software engineering, so we're particularly interested in engineers who are comfortable using AI-assisted development tools and understand how AI can support the development lifecycle - from requirements analysis and coding through to testing, deployment and continuous improvement.

You don't need to be an AI specialist. We're looking for someone who is curious, practical and willing to experiment with new technology where it can genuinely improve outcomes.

The opportunity:
You'll join a global technology team responsible for building and supporting digital platforms that sit at the heart of client engagement and digital content delivery.

You'll work alongside engineers, product specialists, UX professionals, analysts, Marketing and Sales stakeholders, giving you the opportunity to influence both the technology and the products being delivered.

If you're a Full Stack Engineer with strong React, Next.js and Node.js experience who wants to work on modern digital platforms while embracing AI and cloud-native engineering, we'd love to hear from you.
