Vetted on a call by a Wave consultant, not scraped. £120,000 and above.
Sixteen years of shipping product surfaces, frontend leaning and comfortable across the rest. Owned customer activation and onboarding flows on a cash flow forecasting SaaS for web and mobile, and before that built business savings account products inside a UK challenger bank. React, React Native and TypeScript with GraphQL, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Vanilla Extract and Storybook, plus design systems and accessibility work going back years.
Looking forWants proximity to customers and a say in the roadmap, not a ticket queue. Remote flexibility and asynchronous working are what they moved for last time and they have not changed their mind. Five days in an office is out.
How they came acrossMade redundant in May and straightforward about it. Early adopter of AI tooling, Claude, Copilot and Cursor in daily use. Admitted the context switching across several simultaneous processes has been hard going, which was a candid thing to share.

Eighteen employers over a long career that began in design and art direction in Brazil before moving into engineering, latterly at a fintech SaaS and a UK challenger bank. 18 employers, average tenure 1 year 2 months.
Eighteen employers and an average stint just over a year, although a good share of that is early agency and design work rather than engineering roles.
Degree in production engineering.
Four years on a design systems documentation SaaS, which means design tokens, Storybook, private npm packages and GitHub and Bitbucket integrations are day to day rather than theory. TypeScript and React at the front, Ruby on Rails behind, AWS serverless components in between. Earlier work covers real time analytics on Kinesis and Redshift in gaming and microservices in healthcare.
Looking forWants a smaller team, more ownership and problems that are not six year old legacy code. Fully remote is a hard requirement, no relocation from Scotland and no office based roles.
How they came acrossBored rather than unhappy, and honest about it: repetitive work, building on top of code written six years ago, few chances to get involved outside engineering. Reads as a solid technical operator who has run out of runway where they are.

Six employers over eleven years, from local government systems development through gaming, healthcare compliance and now developer tooling. 6 employers, average tenure 1 year 5 months.
Fully remote only, no relocation from Scotland, no games industry, and £125,000 sits at the top of what a fully remote Scotland based role tends to pay.
Higher national qualification in software development.
Fourteen years of production web applications, and the front end is where the depth sits. React and Angular going back to the Backbone and Marionette era, Redux and RxJS, micro-frontend architecture and mobile-first work, TypeScript throughout, with Node, NestJS and Postgres behind it. Now senior product engineer at a venture backed B2B SaaS company, after building at a rail ticketing platform and a sports streaming business.
Looking forThey left a job where they were coordinating 30 or more offshore developers because the process had started getting in the way of shipping. Wants a small team, high ownership and complete features they can finish and watch land with customers. Won't commute more than 45 minutes each way.
How they came acrossArticulate about what they want and comfortable saying it plainly, which our recruiter picked up on straight away. Came into engineering from an English literature background and it shows in how clearly they write. Builds minesweeper, boggle and tetris in their own time and ships them to Netlify.

6 employers over 14 years, from an education technology business and a sports streaming platform into rail ticketing, a web3 investment platform and now B2B SaaS. Average tenure 1 year 9 months, longest stint 3 years 10 months.
Our notes are from May 2026 and they started somewhere new in July, so the file still records them as immediately available and that is almost certainly stale. Rejects anything over a 45-minute commute.
Masters in creative writing from a top ranked UK university, with an English literature background before they moved into tech.
