## About the Role

We're looking for an experienced front-end engineer who combines strong hands-on development skills with the ability to influence technical decisions and support others.
You'll ideally bring:

 * 5+ years' front-end development experience
 * Strong commercial experience with React and TypeScript
 * A solid understanding of front-end architecture, design patterns and component-based applications
 * Experience with Vue.js, or the ability to work comfortably across modern JavaScript frameworks
 * Knowledge of Git, Agile delivery, CI/CD and DevOps practices
 * A strong understanding of web performance, accessibility and responsive design
 * Experience mentoring or supporting other engineers
 * Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, product and design colleagues

This would particularly suit someone who still enjoys being hands-on with code, but wants broader ownership of architecture, engineering quality and the development of the people around them.

## Description

As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you'll take a leading role in developing user-facing features across an established SaaS platform.
You'll have genuine influence over front-end architecture and technical direction, working closely with product managers, designers and fellow engineers to turn complex requirements into scalable, accessible and high-performing experiences.
Key responsibilities include:

 * Designing and developing responsive front-end components, primarily using React
 * Taking ownership of front-end architecture decisions and contributing to longer-term technical strategy
 * Working closely with product and design teams on complex UI/UX challenges
 * Championing performance, accessibility and responsive design
 * Producing clean, maintainable and well-tested code
 * Mentoring other developers and helping raise engineering standards
 * Contributing to continuous improvement across engineering practices

The wider environment includes TypeScript, Vue.js, .NET/C#, RESTful APIs, Playwright, Git, CI/CD and Azure DevOps.
