JavaScript Developer, React focused, Product Engineer (Contract) | React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS | Product-Led Delivery | £400-450/day | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote (UK) | 6-Month Contract

We’re hiring multiple Senior Product Engineers (contractors) with strong frontend or full-stack capabilities to join a large-scale public sector transformation programme.

This role focuses on building modern, user-centric digital products as part of cross-functional teams spanning product, design, and engineering.

You’ll be working on high-impact platforms, delivering intuitive, scalable web applications used by a wide range of users.

This is a 6-month initial contract, ideal for engineers who combine strong frontend expertise with product thinking and a pragmatic approach to delivery.

The Role | JavaScript Developer, React focused, Product Engineer (Contract) | React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS | Product-Led Delivery | £400-450/day | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote (UK) | 6-Month Contract

This is a hands-on product engineering role with a strong focus on frontend development and user experience.

You’ll be expected to:

• Build modern web applications using React and TypeScript
• Contribute across the stack where needed (Node.js backend services)
• Work closely with product managers and designers to deliver user-focused features
• Translate user needs into intuitive, high-quality UI experiences
• Apply modern engineering practices including TDD, CI/CD, and component-driven development
• Collaborate in cross-functional teams with a strong product mindset
• Continuously improve code quality, performance, and usability
• Contribute to design systems and scalable frontend architecture

This role suits engineers who are product-minded, collaborative, and care deeply about building high-quality user experiences.

Technical Requirements | JavaScript Developer, React focused, Product Engineer (Contract) | React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS | Product-Led Delivery | £400-450/day | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote (UK) | 6-Month Contract

• React and modern frontend development (hooks, state management, component architecture)
• TypeScript in production environments
• Building scalable, maintainable frontend applications
• Integrating with APIs and backend services
• Node.js for backend or full-stack development (desirable)
• Modern testing practices (unit, integration, end-to-end)
• CI/CD pipelines and modern development workflows
• Working in cross-functional, product-led teams

Nice to Have

• Experience with design systems and component libraries
• Exposure to accessibility (a11y) best practices
• Experience working in public sector or regulated environments
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS)

Why This Contract Stands Out | JavaScript Developer, React focused, Product Engineer (Contract) | React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS | Product-Led Delivery | £400-450/day | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote (UK) | 6-Month Contract

• £400-450 per day
• Outside IR35
• Fully remote within the UK
• Long-term, stable programme of work
• Opportunity to build meaningful, user-facing digital products
• Strong product, design, and engineering collaboration
• Modern engineering culture focused on quality and delivery

This is not a pixel-perfect greenfield rebuild - it’s a real-world product engineering role where you’ll ship features that directly impact users, working within complex systems and delivering tangible outcomes.
