  • Drive performance optimisation, accessibility, and user experience improvements
  • Mentor and support engineers, providing technical leadership and guidance
  • Work closely with product and design to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies in a cloud environment

Required Experience

  • Strong experience with React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems
  • Proven experience in a Lead or Senior Front End role with ownership of systems
  • Experience designing and building scalable frontend architectures
  • Solid understanding of API integration and distributed systems
  • Experience working with AWS (e.g. API Gateway, Lambda, S3, CloudFront)
  • Strong knowledge of performance optimisation, state management, and testing strategies
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction

Desirable

  • Experience with or server-side rendering
  • Exposure to micro-frontends or design systems
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Experience working in high-growth or product-led environments

Why Join?

  • Opportunity to own and shape the frontend strategy
  • Work on a modern, cloud-native stack
  • High level of autonomy and technical influence
  • Collaborative, engineering-driven culture
