Senior Full Stack Developer - Outside IR35

TypeScript, React, Node.js Contract

3 months initially

Fully Remote (Edinburgh-based company) £400-£450 per day

We're working with a well-established technology business based in Edinburgh to find a Senior Full Stack Developer for an immediate contract engagement.

This is a capacity play, not a transformation project. A delivery team needs an experienced pair of hands to clear a backlog of well-defined, high-volume tickets and unblock broader progress. The work is scoped, the architecture is established, and you can expect to contribute meaningfully within days of starting.

The role

You'll join an embedded product squad working across the full stack in TypeScript, React and Node.js (Express). The codebase runs on AWS with MongoDB and an MVC-style architecture, and leverages Bitbucket and Jenkins for CI/CD. Testing matters here - you'll write well-tested code and help raise the team's overall standard.

AI-assisted development is part of the workflow, not a buzzword. If you're already using tools like Cursor or Claude day-to-day, you'll fit right in.

What you'll need

Strong full-stack background at mid to senior level

TypeScript across the stack - React on the front, Node.js/Express on the back

Practical AWS and MongoDB experience

Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Jenkins)

Solid testing capability - TDD, unit and integration tests

Used to working within established squads and switching context across small tickets

Able to hit the ground running - this isn't a role for a slow rampThe detail

3-month initial contract, strong likelihood of extension based on delivery

Fully remote - work from anywhere in the UK

£400-£450/day | Outside IR35

Immediate or very short notice preferred

If this sounds like your kind of engagement, please apply below or contact Andy at Cathcart Technology directly - happy to share the full details before we go any further.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
