The posting

Role: Lead Full Stack Engineer (Node.js / React / AWS) Location: Hammersmith, London ( Min 3 Days Office ) Contract: Full Time Contract Type: Permanent Salary: £65,000 per annum plus BONUS Benefits: Enhanced Holiday, Quarterly Bonus, Regular Socials & Thriving Business

Who We Are:

At Agile Retail, we operate stores, build brands and support some of the world's most recognisable retail businesses. We're now building Agile X app- our single operating environment designed to bring disconnected retail systems, processes and data together into one scalable platform.

We're looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer to take technical ownership of Agile X and help take it to the next stage. This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll shape the architecture, write code and lead technical development, helping us build a platform that can evolve from connected retail operations into data-driven, AI-assisted decision-making.

The Lead Full Stack Engineer Role:

You'll own the technical direction and development of Agile X, combining hands-on full-stack engineering with architecture, technical leadership and delivery.

  • Own the technical development, architecture and engineering roadmap for Agile X
  • Build and oversee backend services using Node.js and Express
  • Develop modern frontend experiences using React and Vite
  • Own and evolve the platform's AWS and DynamoDB data architecture
  • Build scalable, modular and API-first systems connecting retail operations, workforce, customer and performance data
  • Integrate POS, inventory, workforce, customer and third-party systems into a single connected environment
  • Manage engineering priorities, sprint planning, testing, documentation and releases
  • Establish strong engineering standards across code quality, testing and deployment
  • Lead and support engineers, contractors and external development partners
  • Help evolve Agile X towards data visualisation, predictive analytics, automation and AI-assisted operational decision-making

What's in it for the Lead Full Stack Engineer?

  • Technical ownership of a platform being built to solve real-world retail challenges
  • Genuine influence over architecture, technology choices and engineering standards
  • A hands-on role combining coding, architecture and technical leadership
  • Opportunity to build at the intersection of retail, data, automation and AI
  • Fast-growing, entrepreneurial business where technology has direct commercial impact

Company benefits:

  • Quarterly company bonus
  • Enhanced paid holiday
  • Regular work socials including summer and Christmas parties
  • Wellbeing allowance

The role would suit someone who is:

  • An experienced Senior or Lead Full Stack Engineer with strong backend and frontend capability
  • Highly experienced with Node.js, Express, React and modern JavaScript development
  • Comfortable designing and operating cloud-based systems, ideally using AWS
  • Experienced working with NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB
  • Able to think architecturally whilst remaining genuinely hands-on with code and technical delivery
  • Experienced building scalable systems that connect data, workflows, APIs and user experiences
  • Comfortable taking technical ownership and managing engineering priorities, standards and quality
  • Experienced leading or providing technical direction to engineers, contractors or development partners
  • A strong communicator who can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
  • Commercially minded and interested in using technology to solve genuine operational problems
  • Curious about data, automation, predictive analytics and AI-assisted decision-making
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where the platform and business continue to evolve

Part engineer. Part architect. Part building the future of retail.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
