Overview of the role

We are seeking a motivated and professional Full-Stack Developer to join our Digital Services team.

Please note that while this role is classed as remote, there will be an element of office-based work in Sheffield once a week/a few times a month.

Reporting to the Group Director - Digital, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality services aligned with NOCN's strategic objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Build working prototypes and proofs of concept at pace, so ideas can be validated with real users within days rather than months.
• Take products beyond the prototype - ship, run and iterate real software in production, owning quality and outcomes.
• Deliver across the full stack: React and Next.js front ends, Node functions, Azure hosting, and integrations that connect previously siloed systems.
• Use AI tooling and agents (such as Claude Code) to accelerate delivery, automate routine work and focus human effort where judgement and creativity add the most value.
• Work in continuous discovery with UX, data and business colleagues, holding the thread from user insight through to delivery.
• Help set engineering standards and mentor others as we build our in-house capability from the ground up.
• Contribute to a maintainable, sustainable technical foundation as NOCN takes greater ownership of its products.
• Work pragmatically across a broad product landscape - internal AI and orchestration, digital asset management, public-facing learner tools, content generation, finance and customer support.

About You

• Level 2 in Literacy and Numeracy.
• Degree in Computer related discipline or equivalent practical experience.
• Evidence of continuous professional development in modern web development, cloud, testing, AI tooling or related disciplines.
• Experience of operating within an Agile / Scrum, discovery-led environment.
• Proven full stack experience shipping real products to production, not just prototypes - front-end and back-end.
• Exceptional use of AI tools and agents as part of the everyday development workflow - or clear evidence of being a fast learner with a strong desire to work this way.
• Track record of building and validating prototypes and proofs of concept at speed.
• Strong with modern web frameworks (React / Next.js), APIs, Node and cloud hosting (Azure or similar), plus databases and version control.
• Builds with security in mind - mindful of authentication, common web vulnerabilities and handling personal and learner data safely (GDPR-aware).
• Confident working with data and integrations that connect previously siloed systems.
