AI is changing how software is built - join a team leveraging its capabilities.

Full Stack Developer - AI-first approach

  • Location - Onsite in Southampton, Hampshire.
  • Tech - JavaScript, TypeScript, AI
  • Salary circa £50,000 plus benefits

This is your opportunity to join a growing digital technology specialist as a Full Stack Developer using AI daily to improve speed, quality and customer outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable moving between frontend, backend, data, and web, and who is already using AI tools as part of their day-to-day development workflow.

You'll be working in a pragmatic, collaborative environment where developers take ownership of features from concept through to deployment, and where modern tooling and AI-assisted development are actively encouraged.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building and maintaining features end-to-end, from UI through to APIs, databases, and deployment
  • Working across multiple parts of the stack rather than specialising in a single layer
  • Contributing to technical and architectural decisions
  • Using AI-assisted development tools to support coding, testing, documentation, and delivery
  • Helping improve development practices as tools and technologies evolve

What We're Looking For

  • Experience with a modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Svelte or similar)
  • Backend development experience in at least one language (Node.js/TypeScript, Python, Go, C# or similar)
  • Experience working with APIs, relational databases, and cloud environments
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, containers, and modern deployment practices
  • Ability to think about systems holistically, including performance, security, and reliability

AI & Modern Development

  • Practical experience using Claude for programming efficiency and tools such as GitHub, Copilot, Cursor, or similar
  • Understanding of where AI adds value in the software development lifecycle
  • Interest in emerging areas such as LLM APIs, RAG, or automation is beneficial but not essential

If you're a developer who enjoys working across the full stack, solving challenging problems, and using AI to improve how software is built, we'd love to hear from you.
