Job description

Join National Grid as a UI Engineer and help shape the future of NGED's digital platforms. Reporting to the Head of UI, you'll be at the forefront of designing and building intuitive, responsive, and accessible user interfaces that delight users and drive business impact.

Working closely with UX Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers, you'll bring wireframes and prototypes to life using modern web technologies-especially Angular. You'll champion performance, accessibility, and consistency across all our digital products, while pushing the boundaries of what great UI can be.

As a subject matter expert, you'll foster collaboration, mentor peers, and promote Agile values across teams. You'll also have the opportunity to deputise for your manager and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence through coaching, knowledge sharing, and innovation.

What You'll Do

  • Build high-quality, responsive, and accessible UIs using Angular and modern JavaScript
  • Translate wireframes and prototypes into polished front-end components
  • Maintain a shared design system for consistency across platforms
  • Write clean, modular, and testable code following best practices
  • Optimise performance and load times with smart architecture and code splitting
  • Conduct code reviews and contribute to front-end standards
  • Integrate RESTful APIs and collaborate with back-end teams
  • Debug cross-browser and device compatibility issues
  • Stay ahead of UI trends and recommend improvements
  • Actively participate in Agile ceremonies and drive continuous improvement
  • Support third-party partners in meeting NGED's UI standards
  • Own your personal development and contribute to the wider engineering community

Requirements

  • Strong skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), with Angular experience preferred
  • Proven track record in building scalable, accessible interfaces
  • Familiar with component-based architecture and state management
  • Experience with design tools like Figma or Storybook
  • Solid understanding of performance optimisation and testing
  • Skilled with front-end tooling (Webpack, Vite, etc.) and CI/CD pipelines
  • Comfortable integrating REST APIs and applying secure coding practices
  • Excellent communicator and team collaborator
  • Passionate about inclusive design and accessibility (WCAG 2.1)
  • Agile mindset with experience in Scrum or Kanban environments

Benefits & conditions

A competitive salary between £55,000 - £65,000 - dependent on capability

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
