Digital Ties is a UK-based technology company on a mission to reshape how people move through cities. We're building a platform that connects drivers, commuters, businesses, and local government into a seamless ecosystem - making everyday journeys smarter, easier, and more sustainable.
Our goal is to meet the changing needs, expectations, and behaviours of modern travellers, creating solutions that remove friction from parking, charging, public transport, and micromobility.
By combining cutting-edge technology with over 50 years of expertise in innovation and digital transformation, we're building the future of connected mobility.
We're at an exciting stage - expanding our team, co-designing with industry leaders, and building the MVP that will set the foundation for scaling across the UK and beyond.
We're looking for ambitious Full Stack and Product Developers who want more than just a coding role - this is a chance to help shape the product and culture from the ground up. You'll be working across front-end and back-end systems, tackling challenges like seamless payments, real-time data integration, and scalable architecture.
You'll be creating products that are innovative, appealing, and functional, while driving company growth and profitability. You'll share in the responsibility of ensuring that new products align with company objectives, meet customer expectations, and have a strong competitive edge in the market.
This is your chance to:
· Innovate: Apply agile and design-thinking practices to build solutions that directly respond to changing user needs.
· Collaborate: Work closely with product, UX, and partners (from councils to mobility leaders) to bring bold ideas to life.
· Make an impact: The code you write won't sit on a shelf - it will transform how drivers and cities interact every day.
Key Details
· Compensation: Flexible - either a salaried role with stock options or a contractor arrangement (with or without equity), negotiable for the right candidate.
· Start Date: Immediate.
· Location: UK-based, ideally London or West London (near Kingston Upon Thames). Hybrid flexibility is possible.
· Hours: Full-time (with some flexibility).
If you want to build meaningful tech that makes cities cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities:
· Mobile Development: Develop applications for iOS/Android using a cross-platform framework such as React Native. Manage deployment to mobile app stores.
· Full Stack Development: Design and implement both front-end (React) and back-end components, Python, or Java), ensuring seamless interaction with APIs and platform services.
· Draw on experience in design, engineering, market analysis, and business strategy to create successful products.
· Collaboration: Work closely with a team of developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure a consistent and high-quality user experience across platforms.
· Agile Development: Participate in agile development practices, including sprints, daily stand-ups, and iterative feedback loops to quickly adapt to evolving product requirements.
· Security: Implement robust security protocols for APIs, including OAuth2, JWT, and encryption techniques to protect user data and transactions.
· Optimisation: Monitor application and API performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement performance optimisations to ensure scalability.
· Documentation: Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code, along with creating detailed API documentation for external developers.
· Testing and Debugging: Develop automated test cases and work with QA teams to ensure platform stability and performance.
Required Qualification and Experience:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer or Product Developer, with a portfolio of deployed applications.
