I’m partnering with an exciting, fast-scaling organisation that’s redefining how products are designed, built, and delivered across multiple industries. They’re investing heavily in their technology function and looking to bring on a Senior Frontend Engineer who can shape the direction of their platform and play a pivotal role in the team’s growth.
This is a chance to work in a forward-thinking environment where you’ll be trusted with real technical ownership, while still having the opportunity to mentor, influence and elevate those around you.Responsibilities:

Taking the lead in building and evolving modern web applications that are clean, scalable, and easy to maintain.
Making smart architectural decisions around frameworks, tools, and libraries to ensure the frontend is future-proof.
Improving performance and user experience by identifying bottlenecks and fine-tuning everything from caching strategies to state management.
Acting as a go-to technical leader within the squad – running code reviews, setting engineering standards, and supporting more junior team members.
Working hand-in-hand with design and product teams to deliver interfaces that are intuitive, accessible, and high-quality.
Keeping on top of emerging technologies and championing best practices to keep the team sharp and the product ahead of the curve.

Skills:

Solid background in frontend engineering (5+ years commercial, 10+ years overall in tech).
Expert-level knowledge of React, Next, TypeScript JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
Strong track record of architecting complex frontend systems and integrating with APIs using GraphQL.
Familiarity with AWS cloud services and DevOps practices (CI/CD, Docker).
Deep understanding of performance tuning, accessibility, and testing best practices.
Experience with component-driven development and micro-frontend approaches.
Excellent communicator with proven experience in agile, cross-functional teams.
A natural mentor who enjoys supporting others and raising the bar technically.

Bonus points if you have:

Exposure with progressive web apps.
Worked with design systems or built component libraries.
Experience in WebAssembly, WebSockets, or other cutting-edge browser technologies.
