Senior Full-Stack Engineer
New Yesterday
SmartSurvey is a UK‑based SaaS company on a mission to help organisations listen, understand, and act through powerful, secure feedback tools. Trusted by over 600,000 users across the public and private sectors, we were growing fast especially in the mid‑market space. We’re proud to be independently owned, security‑first, and product‑led, with a next‑generation platform that’s transforming how teams gather insights and make data‑driven decisions. Whether it’s patient experience, employee engagement, or public consultations, our tools turn feedback into impact. At SmartSurvey, we value inclusivity, trust, and curiosity and we’re building a team that reflects those values.

You’ll lead by example, combining hands‑on coding with architectural insight, and balancing speed with rigour.

Who We’re Looking For

Growth & Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to shape the technical direction of a secure, AI‑powered insights platform at a pivotal stage of growth.

You’ll lead by example, contribute to platform strategy, and help scale a product used by thousands across healthcare, public sector, and more enterprises.
Benefits and Perks
This is a remote role; however, you may be required to attend team meetings occasionally. You must have a suitable space to work from at home and a reliable internet connection.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. You don’t need a university degree, just relevant experience, a clear design craft, and a growth mindset. We’re committed to an inclusive hiring process and happy to discuss adjustments, flexible working, or support at any stage.
