But it does mean decisions get made by people in the room, not filtered through three layers of management first. You shape the stack We're not locked into years of legacy decisions made by a committee. You'll have genuine input into tools, approaches, and how things evolve. Less noise, more building You'll spend most of your time actually writing code. We have a couple of in-house projects that are always evolving - you'll get to know them properly and have real input into how they develop. You're not invisible Small teams mean real relationships. You'll know everyone, everyone will know you, and your work will be visible and valued.

We're open on the shape of the role too; full-time, part-time, or something in between. If the fit is right, we'll make it work. You'll be mainly working on our inhouse developed document management applications. Just good code, good people, and the freedom to do your best work. What You'll Be Doing * Building and maintaining responsive front end interfaces, mainly using React * Own features end-to-end - from initial idea and UX discussion through implementation, testing, release, and iteration * Contributing ideas - we actually listen, so don't be shy * Own the front-end release process and ensure smooth, confident deployments * Monitor production behaviour and proactively improve the user experience based on real data * Keeping up with emerging tech and bringing fresh ideas to the table * There is also opportunity to get involved with our cloud infrastructure (AWS experience is a bonus) ## Related Videos - [But, you're not Facebook](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/378-but-you-re-not-facebook) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [To New Frontiers: The Future of Frontend Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/404-to-new-frontiers-the-future-of-frontend-development) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Frontend Developer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/233-frontend-developer-salary-in-the-uk) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [The Best 7 Frontend Frameworks for Developers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/400-the-best-7-frontend-frameworks-for-developers-in-2025)
