Who We Are:

At Agile Retail, we operate stores, build brands and support some of the world's most recognisable retail businesses. We're now building Agile X app- our single operating environment designed to bring disconnected retail systems, processes and data together into one scalable platform.

We're looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer to take technical ownership of Agile X and help take it to the next stage. This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll shape the architecture, write code and lead technical development, helping us build a platform that can evolve from connected retail operations into data-driven, AI-assisted decision-making.

The Lead Full Stack Engineer Role:

You'll own the technical direction and development of Agile X, combining hands-on full-stack engineering with architecture, technical leadership and delivery.

  • Own the technical development, architecture and engineering roadmap for Agile X

  • Build and oversee backend services using Node.js and Express

  • Develop modern frontend experiences using React and Vite

  • Own and evolve the platform's AWS and DynamoDB data architecture

  • Build scalable, modular and API-first systems connecting retail operations, workforce, customer and performance data

  • Integrate POS, inventory, workforce, customer and third-party systems into a single connected environment

  • Manage engineering priorities, sprint planning, testing, documentation and releases

  • Establish strong engineering standards across code quality, testing and deployment

  • Lead and support engineers, contractors and external development partners

  • Help evolve Agile X towards data visualisation, predictive analytics, automation and AI-assisted operational decision-making

What's in it for the Lead Full Stack Engineer?

  • Technical ownership of a platform being built to solve real-world retail challenges

  • Genuine influence over architecture, technology choices and engineering standards

  • A hands-on role combining coding, architecture and technical leadership

  • Opportunity to build at the intersection of retail, data, automation and AI

  • Fast-growing, entrepreneurial business where technology has direct commercial impact

Company benefits:

  • Quarterly company bonus

  • Enhanced paid holiday

  • Regular work socials including summer and Christmas parties

  • Wellbeing allowance

The role would suit someone who is:

  • An experienced Senior or Lead Full Stack Engineer with strong backend and frontend capability

  • Highly experienced with Node.js, Express, React and modern JavaScript development

  • Comfortable designing and operating cloud-based systems, ideally using AWS

  • Experienced working with NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB

  • Able to think architecturally whilst remaining genuinely hands-on with code and technical delivery

  • Experienced building scalable systems that connect data, workflows, APIs and user experiences

  • Comfortable taking technical ownership and managing engineering priorities, standards and quality

  • Experienced leading or providing technical direction to engineers, contractors or development partners

  • A strong communicator who can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders

  • Commercially minded and interested in using technology to solve genuine operational problems

  • Curious about data, automation, predictive analytics and AI-assisted decision-making

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where the platform and business continue to evolve

Part engineer. Part architect. Part building the future of retail.
