Senior Front-end Engineer

Senior Front-end Engineer

We’re looking for strong front-end engineers with excellent communication skills and experience leading projects and mentoring other developers. You would be working with other senior front-end engineers to design and architect the future of the e-conomic front-end platform, tech leading the development of projects toward that goal, and helping to grow and mentor your colleagues.

We are building complex React applications using Typescript, with more than 50 other engineers contributing to the code base on an almost daily basis - writing quality, maintainable code is as important as giving clear and concise feedback to your peers. Real-world experience with application-level concerns in the front-end, like authorisation, localisation, routing and state management is also essential to this role. We expect you to have an excellent grasp of all things front-end, including traditional HTML, CSS and Javascript outside of the React ecosystem, as well as knowledge of modern front-end infrastructure and tooling - we use open source tools and automate where we can, but occasionally we need to extend or build our own internal tooling, usually using Node.

Your responsibilities

• Play a leading role in the future of our web client architecture and platform

• Evolve and develop our front-end infrastructure to ensure we enforce quality at every step, from development to production

• Drive and encourage a focus on testing and improving our overall code quality

• Mentor and guide junior developers toward the right solutions

• Design, code and test in Typescript, for our design system and web client

• Design composable, accessible React components for our design system

• Participate in our front-end guilds to improve and evolve our software and processes

• Test - the full testing pyramid, from unit tests to automated user interface testing

• Scrum and Kanban processes where we find them appropriate

• An open, honest and fun team atmosphere where we do our best to enjoy each day

• Every other Friday is dedicated to developer growth and innovation with hack days where you choose what to do
