Fullstack Engineer (React + Python)

Location: UK (remote-first)
Contract: Permanent, full-time

About hedgehog lab

We're a digital product consultancy that designs, builds and scales impactful web, mobile and AI products. We partner with ambitious organisations to solve real problems with technology.

The opportunity

We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join a cross-functional hedgehog lab team building and scaling a recently relaunched AI-powered learning platform.

The platform has just gone live with new functionality and is entering a rapid growth phase to stay ahead of strong competitors.

What you'll do

• Lead your own work stream across React (front end) and Python (back end and APIs).
• Turn broad problems into clear plans and deliver working features.
• Suggest improved approaches and solutions that add value.
• Collaborate with product, delivery and principal engineers on roadmap and technical direction.
• Optional: Join occasional in-person collaboration sessions, usually in Newcastle or Manchester, no more than once a month.

What we are looking for

• Strong commercial experience with React and Python.
• Ability to work independently, define tasks, ask the right questions and deliver results.
• Full stack mindset, confident moving between UI, APIs, integration and deployment.
• A proactive communicator who enjoys working with others to shape solutions.
• Bonus: experience with AI-driven or data-rich products.
• Level: Senior or Principal-equivalent. We care more about impact and independence than years of experience.

Ways of working

• Remote-first across the UK with flexible hours
• You will be part of a hedgehog lab project team, not working in isolation.

Why this role

• Contribute to a fast-growing AI platform in the education sector.
• Real ownership, autonomy and influence over product direction.
• Supportive and collaborative culture with growth opportunities across future projects
