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:

- 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
