Senior Full Stack Engineer Obsidian 22 (UK, remote)
Sole senior engineer on the modernisation of a UK commodity-trading platform, working directly with the client's Financial Director. Owned architecture, delivery and operations across the legacy system and its greenfield replacement.
• Architected and built the greenfield vNext platform: 13 NestJS/Fastify microservices across 9 DDD bounded contexts (~250,000 lines of TypeScript), multi-tenant security (OIDC/SSO, RBAC, fail-closed tenant isolation), GitOps delivery on Kubernetes (ArgoCD, canary releases with automatic SLO-gated rollback), OpenTelemetry/Grafana observability, Terraform — from empty repository to a live multi-tenant environment in four months.
• Built a 98-component React/TypeScript design system (design tokens, six themes, Storybook, automated accessibility gates) and the trading/finance front end on top of it (React 18, React Query, Vite).
• Legacy modernisation: Clean Architecture refactor of the Express/TypeORM monolith, Webpack → Vite migration, multi-environment Terraform with secretless GitHub OIDC, Playwright E2E with 4-way sharded execution.
• AI-native delivery: governed Claude Code workflow (spec → failing tests → implement → independent automated verification) sustaining ~780 merged PRs in 7 months; self-healing production agent on the Claude Agent SDK that diagnoses errors and opens fix PRs behind budget caps and human approval gates.
