Full stack developer firebase and AWS

Company Description Outrage London is a growing Ecom company with a high tech back end system. We are based in Bridgwater, England, United Kingdom, with projects and operations extending to Bridgwater and the wider region. Selling jewellery is the bread and butter of the business however our backend system is whats helping us scale and grow efficiently, offering opportunities to work with contemporary web technologies. Team members collaborate closely on-site, contributing to a practical and delivery-focused culture. Applicants can expect a setting where technical skills, initiative, and problem-solving are valued and developed.

Outrage London is looking for an experienced Lead Software Developer & Technical Operations Manager to take full technical ownership of our rapidly growing internal software platform.

Our internal application is becoming a critical part of the business and our day-to-day operations. The platform currently supports multiple areas of the company, including stock management, staff management, tasks and workflows, internal communications, scheduling, payroll administration, complaints, performance tracking and wider business operations.

As the platform becomes increasingly important to the company, we are looking for someone to take control of the technical operation, architecture, security and future development of the system.

This is not a role for someone who simply waits for development tickets.

We want someone who can understand how our business operates, identify weaknesses and inefficiencies, and actively build systems that make the company faster, more secure and more scalable.

The Main Focus

Your first major focus will be to lead the development of a complete stock management and inventory intelligence system.

We want to build a system that gives the business complete visibility over stock, purchasing and product performance.

This will include stock levels, stock movements, sales velocity, product performance, forecasting, low-stock warnings, purchasing requirements and advanced inventory analytics.

The goal is to allow management to make data-driven stock and purchasing decisions rather than relying on manual spreadsheets, assumptions or disconnected systems.

You will also build and manage API integrations with the marketplaces, sales channels and third-party platforms we operate across, helping us centralise more of the business within our internal software.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full technical ownership of our internal business application.
• Lead and manage the ongoing development of the platform.
• Build a complete stock management and inventory analytics system.
• Develop stock forecasting, sales velocity and purchasing intelligence tools.
• Create advanced management dashboards and business analytics.
• Build and maintain API integrations with sales channels and third-party platforms.
• Create reliable systems for syncing orders, products, customers and stock data.
• Review the existing codebase and technical architecture.
• Manage and review work completed by offshore and external development teams.
• Introduce strict code review and approval processes.
• Implement professional development, testing and deployment procedures.
• Improve application performance, reliability and scalability.
• Maintain technical documentation for all critical systems.
• Develop backup and disaster recovery procedures.
• Ensure the company maintains complete control and ownership of its infrastructure, source code and technical assets.

Security & Infrastructure

Security will be a major responsibility within this role.

As our internal software becomes more critical to the business, we need someone responsible for ensuring appropriate security controls and development standards are implemented across the entire operation.

You will be responsible for reviewing and implementing:

• Role-based access control and least-privilege permissions.
• Firebase Security Rules.
• Secure API authentication and authorisation.
• AWS IAM and infrastructure access controls.
• API rate limiting and abuse protection.
• Secret and API key management.
• Secure environment variable management.
• Audit logs and user activity tracking.
• Authentication and session security.
• Database access controls.
• Secure development and code review processes.
• Dependency and vulnerability monitoring.
• Backup and disaster recovery systems.
• Protection against common web application attacks.
• Secure access procedures for internal, offshore and external developers.
• Monitoring and alerting for suspicious application activity.

You must be confident reviewing existing systems and challenging development practices where you believe the business, its data or infrastructure is unnecessarily exposed.

AI-Assisted Development Is Essential

We actively use AI to increase development speed and productivity.

You must have strong practical experience with AI-assisted software development, including:

• GitHub Copilot
• ChatGPT
• Claude

We are looking for someone who understands how to use AI effectively to plan, develop, review, debug and document software at speed.

You must also understand that AI-generated code requires proper technical review, security validation and testing before deployment.

We want someone who can combine AI development speed with senior-level technical judgement.

Technical Experience Required

You must have strong experience with:

• JavaScript
• React
• Firebase
• Firebase Authentication
• Firestore
• Firebase Cloud Functions
• Firebase Security Rules
• REST APIs
• Third-party API integrations
• AWS
• AWS IAM and access management
• API rate limiting
• Git and GitHub
• GitHub Actions and CI/CD
• Secure application architecture
• Database architecture and design
• Authentication and authorisation
• Role-based access control
• Application logging and monitoring

Experience with Redux, e-commerce systems, inventory management software and large internal business applications would be highly beneficial.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who thinks like a technical owner rather than a task-based developer.

You should be comfortable taking an existing application, understanding how it works and developing a clear technical roadmap for improving its architecture, security and scalability.

You must be able to communicate technical risks and decisions in straightforward language to company management.

You will also need to confidently manage, review and control development work completed by offshore and external development teams.

The right person will become a key technical decision-maker within Outrage London and take increasing ownership of our technology operation as the company grows.

Why Join Outrage London?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a real internal platform actively used within a rapidly growing e-commerce business.

You will not be working on theoretical projects or minor website changes.

The systems you build will directly influence our stock purchasing, inventory, staff operations, business analytics, order management and future growth.

As Outrage London continues to scale, the importance, complexity and scope of the platform will grow with it.

Salary, Benefits & Career Progression

We want the successful candidate to become a long-term and important part of Outrage London's growth, taking genuine ownership of our technology and internal software operation.

The package for this role includes:

• £40,000 annual salary
• 31 days' paid annual holiday
• Paid bank holidays
• Annual company bonus scheme linked to agreed development milestones, build targets and successful delivery of key projects
• Clear development targets and performance objectives, ensuring expectations and priorities are agreed from the outset
• Full-time, permanent in-house position
• Direct access to company management and key decision-makers
• Significant ownership and autonomy over the technical direction of our internal platform
• Opportunity to lead and oversee external and offshore development resources
• Direct involvement in major technology, operational and infrastructure decisions
• Opportunity to build systems that are actively used across the entire company
• Long-term career progression as our internal technology operation expands
• Potential for the role and salary to grow alongside the responsibility and importance of the platform
• A fast-moving working environment where ideas can be discussed, approved and implemented quickly
• A close-knit, ambitious team culture within a rapidly growing e-commerce business

An In-House Role

This is a fully in-house position and remote working is not available.

This is intentional. The successful candidate will work closely with our management, stock and operational teams to understand exactly how the company functions day to day.

We want someone who can physically see operational problems, speak directly with the people using the software and then design and build practical solutions around real business requirements.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to become the technical lead behind a business-critical platform and play a major role in shaping how Outrage London operates as the company continues to grow.
