The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Front-End Developer to design and build high-performance, scalable and user-centric web applications.
This role goes beyond visual UI — it requires deep ownership of end-to-end user experience, performance optimisation and front-end architecture.
What You'll Do
* Design, develop and maintain modern web applications using Angular or React (minimum 5 years' experience in one or both).
* Lead both UI and UX implementation — owning user flows, usability, accessibility and experience quality.
* Translate product requirements into elegant, responsive, production-ready interfaces.
* Build mobile-first, responsive applications with a Progressive Web App (PWA) approach.
* Develop scalable, reusable and maintainable component architectures.
* Implement high-quality, consistent styling using modern CSS frameworks and methodologies.
* Work from Figma designs and collaborate closely with design and product stakeholders.
* Collaborate with Product Owners and Back-End Developers to deliver cohesive, integrated solutions.
* Engage directly with customers when required — demoing features, gathering feedback and iterating rapidly.
* Apply performance-first engineering principles:
* Caching strategies
* Lazy loading
* Code splitting
* Dynamic scrolling / virtualisation
* Bundle optimisation
* Optimise applications for speed, accessibility and cross-device compatibility.
* Contribute to Agile delivery processes (Scrum and/or Kanban).
* Participate in sprint ceremonies and iterative delivery cycles.
* Mentor junior developers and raise engineering standards across the team.
* Contribute to front-end architectural decisions and technical design discussions.
What We're Looking For
Essential
* Minimum 5 years' professional experience with Angular and/or React.
* Strong experience delivering mobile-first, responsive web applications.
* Experience building and deploying Progressive Web Applications (PWAs).

* Strong UI/UX capability — able to think beyond visuals into usability and workflow design.
* Experience working from Figma designs and collaborating with designers.
* Performance-minded engineering approach.
* Strong TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML and component architecture experience.
* Comfortable working in Agile environments (Scrum / Kanban).
* Experience mentoring junior team members.
* Confident communicating with stakeholders and customers.
Desirable
* Experience integrating front-end applications with APIs and authentication flows.
* Experience with C# / .NET back-end services.
* Familiarity with Azure-hosted applications.
