Senior Full Stack Developer (Immediate Start)

About This Role

Location: Remote

Contract: 3-6 months (with potential to convert to permanent)

ABOUT US | Whiteshield is a global advisory firm operating at the intersection of strategy, public policy, and digital transformation. We partner with governments and leading enterprises to design and deliver initiatives that drive economic competitiveness, digital enablement, and long-term growth.

Our work combines strategic advisory with hands-on execution. We support senior decision-makers in navigating complex regulatory, economic, and technological environments, translating ideas into structured programmes, delivery frameworks, and measurable outcomes.

Unlike traditional consultancies that focus solely on recommendations, we remain engaged through implementation; ensuring transformation is not only designed but realised.

WHERE YOU FIT IN | We're looking for a hands-on Senior Full Stack Developer who loves building real things.

You will be joining us at an exciting stage, working across a mix of greenfield builds, product improvements, and AI-enabled features. We move fast, solve real problems, and care about clean, scalable code.

This role is suited to engineers who have repeatedly taken ownership of complex systems end-to-end and can demonstrate deep technical judgement across the full stack. You've solved genuinely hard problems, not just implemented features, and you understand the trade-offs, architecture, and long-term implications of the solutions you build. We expect a high degree of autonomy, strong product thinking, and the ability to drive features from concept through to production with minimal oversight.

WHAT YOU WILL DO |

• Design and build end-to-end features across backend and frontend
• Work with AI Tools (Primarily Claude Code/Cursor) to accelerate development
• Develop scalable APIs and services using .NET
• Create clean, responsive UIs using React (ideally with TypeScript)
• Work with cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred)
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and data teams
• Contribute to system design decisions and improving architecture over time
• Explore and integrate AI capabilities into products and workflows

WHAT YOU CAN DO |

• You can design solutions and not just implement
• You ask the right questions before jumping into code
• You can break down and solve real-world technical problems
• You have practical experience building and shipping production-grade systems
• You are comfortable working across the stack (.NET + React preferred)
• You are curious about and have practical exposure to AI tools or integrations

Requirements WHAT YOU'LL BRING |

• Strong full stack experience (backend + frontend)
• Solid experience with .NET / ASP.NET Web API
• Frontend experience with React (ideally TypeScript)
• Good understanding of APIs, databases, and system design
• Experience working with cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, testing, and modern dev practices
• Bonus if you've worked with AI/LLM integrations or automation workflows

(We are not looking for a pure architect but someone who is hands-on and practical and who enjoys building and shipping.

WHAT WE VALUE | Curiosity and action: You take initiative and explore new ideas

• Empathy and clarity: You're a strong communicator and collaborator
• Delivery and impact: You're focused on outcomes, not just outputs
• Passion and adaptability: You bring energy, depth, and flexibility to your work

Benefits Meaningful impact Your work helps shape products used at national scale - enabling people to access services, opportunities, and support that make a real difference in everyday lives.

Creative freedom You will have room to explore ideas, test approaches, and raise the bar for design quality - even in complex, regulated environments. We value thoughtful experimentation and encourage new ways of working.

High-calibre collaboration You'll work alongside talented people across policy, data, design, and technology - bringing different perspectives together to solve complex problems well.

Flexibility that works We operate in an outcome-driven, remote-friendly way that respects individual working styles. Trust, autonomy, and balance are core to how we work.

Supportive culture You will join a team that values respect, inclusion, and wellbeing - where people are encouraged to do their best work without burning out.
