Lead Full Stack Engineer (Frontend heavy) - £80,000 - Tech for Good - (Wigan Hybrid)

G.Digital are back with one of our favourite partners, a AWS Powerhouse Tech for Good organisation, who are looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to take ownership of a brand-new front-end application, built on modern tech and designed to deliver seamless, accessible user experiences at scale.

You’ll lead the technical direction, set the vision, and build out responsive, performant interfaces with a strong focus on accessibility (WCAG).

While your expertise leans towards the front-end (TypeScript, modern JS frameworks, component-based architecture), you’ll also contribute across the stack—collaborating with backend engineers on Node.js, RESTful APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms (Azure/AWS).

This is an opportunity to shape solutions that matter, mentor a talented team, and foster a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture.
