Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer - Front End - **Company:** Edra - **Location:** London, UK - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Software Debugging, Next.js, Software Engineering, TypeScript, ReactJS, Large Language Models, Backend, Material UI, Information Technology, Front End Software Development, Api Design - **Published:** September 5, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/software-engineer-front-end-london-edra-8365652 ## About the Role * Good visual and interaction judgment, even if you're not a designer by title * 3+ years of experience in software engineering (but a computer science degree is not necessarily required) * A love of writing TypeScript to a genuinely high standard--well-modeled, well-typed, and well-documented. Strong typing feels like a superpower, not a chore * Experience building libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling that made other developers' lives easier (and you've enjoyed it) * You're at your best when you own a problem end to end--comfortable with ambiguity and energized by turning a vague problem into a well-scoped solution * You're drawn to building foundational systems from scratch--greenfield work where your decisions compound over time excites you Don't meet all of the above? We'd still love to hear from you. We're looking for exceptional people with unique skills and interests, and we know that great people have different backgrounds and skillsets. If your primary interest is building RAG systems, working with LLMs, or doing applied ML, check out our AI Engineering role--it might be a better fit. Bonus Points * We use Next.js in production, and experience with it is highly welcome, but strong React fundamentals matter most. * Experience building APIs, libraries, or design systems ## Description We're looking for Product Engineers who care deeply about the craft of building software: strong typing, thoughtful API design, robust data modeling, and systems that are a pleasure for other engineers to work with. As an early engineer at Edra, you'll shape not just the product but the engineering culture, tooling choices, and technical foundations the company is built on. We work deliberately and deeply. There's no separation between "building it" and "shipping it"--you'll go from whiteboard to production and own the outcome. We'd rather build something thoughtfully than ship something fragile, and we treat velocity and quality as complementary, not competing. What You'll Do * Build high-quality user-facing product experiences. You'll work primarily in TypeScript and React. * Contribute to frontend architecture decisions. * Contribute to the direction and design of our product. You should be comfortable working closely with design and able to reason clearly about interface decisions. * Own your work fully: gather context, manage dependencies, and drive tasks to completion without a product manager handing you tickets * Wear multiple hats when the work demands it--you might build a component library in the morning, pair with a designer in the afternoon, and trace a bug into the API layer before end of day * Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers and AI experts * Have direct influence on technical direction--choose tools, set patterns, and establish conventions the team will build on for years * Continuously improve your skills and share knowledge with the team * While this is a frontend-focused role, you'll be expected to understand the system well enough to debug backend issues you encounter in day-to-day development ## Related Videos - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE – Frontend Inspirations, Web Standards and more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1761-wearedevelopers-live-frontend-inspirations-web-standards-and-more) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
