Full Stack Contract Developer | 3 Months | Remote

Outside IR35 · Day Rate: £450 pd · Start: ASAP

A fast-moving tech business is looking for an experienced contract developer to join a small engineering team for a focused 3-month engagement. The work spans front-end development and a legacy database migration — a good mix of hands-on building and behind-the-scenes groundwork.

The Project

You'll be working on a platform rebuild and data migration, helping to modernise a legacy system and deliver a clean, well-engineered result ahead of a hard go-live deadline.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building and improving front-end features using React

  • Supporting the migration of a legacy database to PostgreSQL

  • Integrating Clerk for authentication within the new architecture

  • Transforming and validating data to ensure a clean cutover

  • Collaborating closely with a small internal engineering team

  • Supporting testing and QA ahead of launch

What We're Looking For
  • Strong React experiences

  • Solid PostgreSQL skills; some SQL Server exposure is useful but not essential

  • Familiarity with Clerk or similar modern auth solutions ideal

  • Experience working on or around database migrations

  • Self-sufficient, pragmatic, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment

The Details
  • 3-month contract (extension possible depending on project needs)

  • Fully remote

  • Outside IR35

  • £450 per day
