Frontend Engineer

Who We Are

PAIR is a fast-growing AI adoption startup on a mission to help professionals and teams harness AI to do their best work. Our platform delivers personalised, AI-powered learning experiences and adoption support that help organisations rapidly harness AI at scale.

The Role

We’re hiring a Frontend Engineer as our sixth technical hire. You’ll collaborate closely with our Lead Frontend Engineer, CTO, and Creative Lead to turn complex ideas into polished, high-performing user experiences.

What You’ll Do

• Own features end-to-end, from technical design and implementation to release, iteration, and ongoing improvement.
• Own specific areas of the frontend codebase, from components to flows.
• Collaborate with product, design, and backend to translate Figma designs and product requirements into functional, high-quality code.
• Improve frontend performance, accessibility, and overall quality.
• Shape frontend standards, structure, and tooling as we grow.
• Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and team stand-ups, helping us maintain a high engineering standard.

What You’ll Work On in Your First 6 Months

• Leading the frontend implementation of a new user-facing journey, from initial concept through to polished production experience.
• Owning and improving a complex product surface: dashboards, authoring tools, AI-driven workflows, or other high-impact areas.
• Helping raise engineering quality through improvements to testing, patterns, and shared components.
• Collaborating closely with backend engineers on end-to-end feature slices.

What You’ll Bring

We expect you to operate independently as a solid mid-level engineer (or higher). Roughly 3-5 years’ experience is typical, but we prioritise capability over years.

• Strong experience with a modern component-based frontend framework (Vue, React, Svelte, etc.).
• Experience owning features or areas of a production codebase.
• Good understanding of APIs, state management, and frontend architecture.
• A strong product and UX mindset: you care about users, not just code.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong communication, especially in hybrid/remote collaboration.

Nice to Have

• Vue 3 + Composition API experience.
• Performance and accessibility optimisation experience.
• Experience with dashboards or complex interfaces.
• Prior startup or scale-up experience.

Why Join Us?

• High impact. You’ll shape a product used by thousands and make decisions that have immediate customer impact.
• Real ownership, without chaos. We keep process lean and avoid unnecessary meetings. Engineers here have autonomy, trust, and support.
• Mission that matters. AI is changing how people work. Most organisations don’t know how to adopt AI quickly or effectively. You’ll help fix that.
• Backed by top investors. We’re growing fast, with strong financial backing and significant revenue traction.
• A-Team environment. We hire carefully. You’ll work with thoughtful, driven people who are experts in their craft.

Compensation & Working Style

• Salary: £61-74k base, depending on experience and level.
• Equity: 0.05%-0.15%, depending on experience and level.
• Hybrid: 1 day/week in our central London office (Tuesdays).
• 7 company-wide focus weeks (in person Mon-Thu) each year for deep collaboration.
• 25 days holiday + public holidays.
• Right to work: We can sponsor visas for exceptional candidates; applicants normally have UK work rights.

Our Hiring Process

• Application Form: focused questions to assess your fit for the role.
• Short Self-paced Coding Exercise (~1 hour for a strong candidate): realistic, no LeetCode.
• Technical Interview (Teams): walkthrough of your solution + a short live coding task.
• Final Onsite: meet the team + with our CEO and CTO.
