Collaborate across design, product, and engineering to define scalable patterns and best practices
Optimise performance, maintainability, and accessibility across large-scale interfaces
Set the benchmark for testing, documentation, and code quality across the team
Contribute to the growth of the wider engineering group through mentoring, pair programming, and knowledge sharing
What We're Looking For
Strong track record building production-grade applications with React and TypeScript
Solid understanding of state management, modular component design, and scalable front-end architecture
Skilled in designing and consuming RESTful or GraphQL APIs in collaborative environments
Experience improving performance and reliability in large front-end codebases
Comfortable owning large-scale initiatives and mentoring other engineers
Excellent communicator with the ability to provide clear technical guidance across teams
Bonus Points For:
Familiarity with monorepos or shared component systems
Experience with end-to-end testing frameworks (Cypress, Playwright)
Proven delivery of large-scale refactors, design system integrations, or platform migrations
What Success Looks Like
You advocate for clean, consistent interfaces and thoughtful architecture
You raise the bar for the entire engineering team by sharing knowledge and leading by example
You take pride in solving real problems and shaping the experience for end users at scale
You deliver maintainable, well-tested code and help others do the same
