Since 2015, Lounge has evolved from an eCommerce underwear brand, built on Comfort Made Sexy, into an omnichannel modern fashion house, inspiring women to feel empowered, beautiful, sexy, and comfortable in their own skin.

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help shape the next phase of that journey.

As a Senior, you’ll be a key technical contributor, owning significant product areas, influencing frontend architecture, and mentoring other engineers. You’ll work closely with the Head of Engineering and your peers on complex projects, new technologies, and continual improvement of our platform and practices.

As an Engineering team at Lounge:

• We treat many aspects of e-commerce as a science and act accordingly.
• We give you time and space to innovate rather than simply maximise output.
• We hire experts and passionate people who are comfortable speaking up and teaching others.
• We buy rather than build commodity software we’re not here to reinvent HR systems.
• We think big and bet big when we find a meaningful opportunity, we commit and act.
• We believe we’ll win by sustainably out-innovating our competition, backed by strong engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD, functional techniques, and whatever comes next).
