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
