Fullstack Tech Lead (hands-on React, Node.js)

Our client company is a rapidly growing UK-based fintech building a next-generation international payments and FX platform. Regulated by the FCA as an Electronic Money Institution, they help businesses around the world pay and get paid in multiple currencies — simply, fast, and without borders.

As they scale their core R&D team, they’re looking for a hands-on Tech Lead who’s product-oriented, proactive, and thrives in an environment where engineering drives business impact.
If you enjoy autonomy, smart teammates, and real ownership — this is a place where your work matters.

 

🔧 What you'll be working on:

  • Building and evolving core features across the platform using React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB
  • Designing scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL) and robust backend architecture
  • Shipping features end-to-end in collaboration with design, product, and ops
  • Owning technical decisions in a modern cloud-native setup (AWS, Docker)
  • Driving best practices, improving performance, and mentoring teammates

🚀 We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has 3+ years of experience as a Tech Lead (or similar hands-on leadership position)
  • Still enjoys coding daily, and leads technical work by doing
  • Writes clean, scalable code and cares about architecture as much as execution
  • Is confident working with React, Node.js, and cloud environments (preferably AWS)
  • Speaks English at B2+ level — you’ll be collaborating with an international team
  • Is proactive, takes initiative, and feels comfortable making technical decisions
  • Bonus: experience with fintech or payment-related systems

What makes this opportunity special:

  • You’ll join a lean, senior team where decisions are fast and your voice matters
  • You’ll work closely with product and business teams to deliver real customer value
  • You’ll enjoy minimal meetings, async communication, and focus time
  • You’ll use a modern, well-maintained stack: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Node.js, React, GraphQL, Cypress, Jest, Docker, AWS

💼 Contract & perks:

  • Full-time B2B cooperation
  • Paid vacation and sick leave
  • Hybrid or remote setup — you can work from anywhere, or optionally join team hubs in Lisbon or Bucharest
  • Transparent roadmap, supportive culture, and direct access to leade
