Full-Stack Software Engineer
Location: Central London (hybrid working)
Salary: £65k to £80k base, dependent on experience
Reporting line: Chief Executive Officer, with daily direction from the Lead Engineer
The opportunity
My client is an FCA-regulated payments business operating across card issuing, merchant acquiring and transaction processing. Its London-based technology function is deliberately small and highly experienced, and makes heavy use of modern tooling, including AI, to achieve outsized output. The company owns and runs its full technology stack: consumer and business-facing web and mobile products, a payment gateway, and a range of internal platforms.
They are now looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join this team. You will work closely with the Lead Engineer to develop and enhance the group’s web, mobile and payments platforms. You will also act as the independent reviewer for all changes going into production.
What you’ll be doing
Shipping features and resolving issues end to end, from user interface through to the data layer, across all of the company’s customer-facing and internal platforms
Taking part in a dual-approval process for production releases: reviewing the Lead Engineer’s code and having your own code reviewed in return
Building automated test coverage and maintaining accurate technical documentation
Developing and supporting integrations with third-party partners via APIs and webhooks
Covering the Lead Engineer’s responsibilities during leave or absence
Working with AI-assisted development tools every day, while taking full responsibility for reviewing and validating what they produce
Applying secure development standards aligned with PCI DSS and contributing to the remediation of security weaknesses
What you’ll bring
4+ years’ experience delivering web applications in a live production environment
Strong skills in TypeScript, React and/or Next.js, Node.js and SQL, ideally with PostgreSQL
Confident use of Git, pull-request workflows and CI/CD pipelines, with a solid testing discipline
Sound grasp of core web security principles, including the OWASP Top 10, authentication and input validation
Hands-on use of AI coding assistants in your day-to-day work
Desirable
Background in payments, fintech or banking
Mobile development experience with React Native or Expo
Experience deploying to AWS or Vercel
Additional information
Applicants must hold the right to work in the UK. As the employer is a regulated financial services firm, any offer will be conditional on satisfactory references and a criminal background check. My client is committed to equal opportunities.

Operations
Lead day-to-day operations including payments, customer service, risk and fraud, trading liaison and product localisation.
Develop local payment and cashier solutions that fit the Venezuelan market and its banking and currency environment.
Establish clear operating processes, KPIs and reporting so the Managing Director and shareholders have full visibility of performance.
Regulation and stakeholders
Ensure the business operates in full compliance with local regulation and licence conditions, working closely with legal and compliance advisers.
Build relationships with the regulator, payment providers, suppliers, affiliates and media partners.
Represent the brand locally and act as the senior point of contact in country.
People and leadership
Recruit, lead and develop a high-performing local team across marketing, operations, customer service and payments.
Create a performance-driven culture with clear accountability and strong communication.
Work closely with the Managing Director on strategy, budgeting and long-term planning, deputising where required.

Hiring in Limassol ?? | IT Operations Engineer | Permanent
Are you the person your team calls when a Mac won’t enrol, a colleague can’t access an app or the office Wi-Fi drops? I’m working with a client in Limassol looking for someone who enjoys that mix of troubleshooting and taking ownership.
You’ll be the main IT contact for the local office, with a wider IT team to work alongside. You’ll look after the company’s Macs, manage accounts and permissions, and help new starters get set up.
