About Clue Content
Clue Content is an innovative technology company transforming social media and content marketing with an AI-powered SaaS platform. Our technology enables businesses to develop high-impact, data-driven strategies that drive meaningful growth.
We are now at a crucial stage, bringing our technology fully in-house to accelerate development and innovation. To achieve this, we are seeking a Lead Full Stack Developer to take full ownership of the platform, working closely with the CEO and playing a key role in the future of the company.
This is more than a technical role. It is an opportunity to be a key member of a fast-growing, ambitious startup. The successful candidate will start as the sole developer, overseeing the transition and developing new features. As the company scales, there will be the opportunity to hire and manage a development team.
The Role
As Lead Full Stack Developer, you will be responsible for the entire platform, taking it from its current development phase through to scaling and optimisation. The role requires technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and strong leadership skills. Initially, you will take full responsibility for the platform’s development, ensuring a smooth handover from the outgoing development team. In the longer term, you will play a key role in hiring and managing a development team.
This position is suited to an individual who is highly self-motivated, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is looking for a role with significant responsibility and growth potential.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the transition of the platform from an external development team to in-house management, ensuring a seamless handover
* Develop, optimise, and scale the platform, ensuring high performance, security, and reliability
* Design and deploy new features using JavaScript (typescript), React, and Node.js
* Manage and optimise the Supabase database, ensuring seamless integration and performance
* Collaborate with AI/ML specialists to integrate machine learning models into the platform
* Troubleshoot, debug, and enhance platform functionality to deliver a best-in-class user experience
* Work directly with the CEO to align technical development with business strategy
* Use ClickUp for project management to track and prioritise development tasks
* Hire and manage a development team as the company scales
Candidate Requirements
The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and leadership potential.
Essential
* Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer, ideally within a SaaS or startup environment
* Expertise in JavaScript (typescript), React, and Node.js
* Ability to work independently and take full ownership of an entire tech stack
* Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to work closely with the CEO and non-technical team members
* Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
* UK-based (Remote/Hybrid, must be able to attend occasional in-person meetings in Cambridgeshire)
Desirable
* Experience integrating AI/ML frameworks into SaaS products
* Knowledge of microservices architecture and scalable infrastructure
* Familiarity with ClickUp for project management
* Prior experience in a technical leadership role or managing developers
