Applicants must be eligible to work in the specified location

Are you a senior Front End engineer looking to have a large impact? As an established senior Front End engineer, do you enjoy driving technical direction while being hands-on. We re working with a rapid-growth startup (profitable, 35% YoY growth, ~100 people) who are keen to find a talented Front End engineer who can technically lead their existing Front End team.

This is a rare opportunity to join a greenfield project as the company look to design their run away success product from the ground up.

We re looking forward to speaking to senior Front End engineers with the following profile:-

• A minimum 8 years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 4 years building production frontends with React & Typescript
• Strong Front End engineering fundamentals: Component architecture, state management, performance optimization and responsive design
• Proven track record as a hands-on senior Front End engineer--you design and deliver production features while coaching and supporting others from a technical perspective
• Data Visualization - Some prior experience in this domain will be a big advantage
• Modern Front End tooling: Experience with build tools (Vite, Webpack), testing frameworks, and modern development workflows
• API integration: Experience consuming REST APIs, handling asynchronous data, error handling, and loading states
• Performance optimisation: Deep understanding of Front End performance--code splitting, lazy loading, memorisation, rendering optimisation
• Start-up experience : Somebody who enjoys fast pace, quick decisions & blurring boundaries

You ll be happy producing high quality code and collaborating closely with UX designers. As a senior Front End developer you ll also be comfortable guiding and mentoring more junior engineers. This is a role that comes with a high degree of autonomy and there is an expectation that you will be passionate about your craft and build that culture around you.
