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.

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
