We specialise in connecting outstanding software engineers with leading UK-based clients, delivering high-impact digital products in complex, data-driven environments.
Our mission is simple: build excellent technology by empowering excellent people.

We are now looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who is passionate about building high-quality web applications and who genuinely loves football.
You will work on products where technology meets the beautiful game — from fan-engagement platforms to data-driven football solutions.

The Role

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will contribute across the full product lifecycle, working closely with product managers, designers and football-domain specialists to deliver scalable, user-focused solutions.

You will play an active role in shaping features, improving performance and translating football-related concepts into reliable and intuitive software.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain scalable, production-ready web applications using Python on the backend and React on the frontend.
Design, implement and maintain RESTful APIs and backend services.
Collaborate closely with product, design and football-domain experts to define and deliver new features.
Translate football-related requirements into clean, intuitive and user-friendly functionality.
Write clean, well-structured, testable and maintainable code.
Participate in code reviews, technical discussions and solution design.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development standards, tooling and practices.

Required Skills & Experience
Strong commercial experience with Python (Flask or FastAPI).
Strong experience with React, including hooks, modern state management and component-based architecture.
Solid knowledge of HTML, CSS and modern JavaScript.
Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL or similar.
Good understanding of Git and modern collaborative development workflows.
Experience working with cloud platforms, ideally Microsoft Azure.

Nice to Have
Experience working in data-driven or analytics-heavy platforms.
Experience working in product-focused or fast-paced delivery teams.
Personal interest or background in football, sports technology or fan-experience platforms.

What We’re Looking For
A proactive engineer who takes ownership of features from idea to delivery.
Someone comfortable working closely with non-technical stakeholders.
A team player who enjoys sharing knowledge and contributing to a positive engineering culture.
A genuine interest in football and how technology can enhance the sport.
