We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to play a key role in shaping our frontend architecture and help evolve our theming and CMS experience. This is not a "just ship tickets" role, you'll help define the foundations that allow us to scale without drowning in bespoke work.

What You'll Be Doing

• Create a Modular Frontend Platform

Help evolve a reusable, component-driven frontend approach that supports both standardised and customised customer experiences.

• Turn Bespoke into Configurable

Help move one-off frontend solutions toward shared components, patterns, and conventions that enable global updates, faster delivery, and long-term maintainability.

New CMS Frontend

• Contribute to usability, performance, permissions, and content workflow decisions.
• Work closely with backend engineers to define clear and practical integration boundaries.

Mentorship & Code Quality

• Review frontend code and share best practices through collaboration and feedback.
• Support other frontend developers with JavaScript, architecture, and tooling.
• Help introduce and evolve sensible frontend processes (branching, reviews, ticket flow).

Collaboration & UX

• Work alongside designers and UX-focused developers to balance visual polish with technical robustness.
• Champion accessibility, responsiveness, and performance across all sites., * Exposure to SaaS, multi-tenant, or white-label platforms
• Familiarity with PHP/Twig or server-rendered architectures
• Experience contributing to or supporting migrations from legacy frontends to more modern stacks
