💼 Full-time | Permanent
📍 London Hybrid (1 in the office a week)
We’re recruiting for a fast-growing ed-tech startup on a mission to make career coaching and mentoring accessible to everyone at work - not just the execs. They're live across the UK and US, backed by seasoned founders, and building tools that actually help people grow. 🚀
We’re helping them look for a Frontend Engineer who’s curious, self-driven, and has an eye for polished UI. If you get excited by smooth transitions, scalable systems, and bringing designs to life, keep reading.
👨💻 The Role
You’ll be joining a tight-knit engineering team where your work really matters. From responsive mobile screens to slick web interfaces, you’ll be at the core of creating beautiful, accessible, and fast experiences for real users.
We work with React, React Native, and TypeScript, and we care a lot about clean code, performance, and design details.
🛠 What You’ll Be Doing
* Build beautiful UI – You’ll own frontend features across mobile and web using React, React Native, HTML/CSS, and TypeScript.
* Turn designs into real life – Collaborate with designers to implement pixel-perfect Figma mocks.
* Keep it fast - Optimise performance for speed, scalability, and user joy.
* Write clean code - Use modern best practices and help keep the codebase healthy and readable.
* Test like a pro - Use tools like Jest to write unit/integration tests and squash bugs before users ever see them.
* Work cross-functionally - Pair up with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to ship quickly and often.
* Stay curious – Help us explore and adopt emerging frontend tools and workflows.
🎯 What We’re Looking For
* 2–4 years of commercial frontend experience
* Strong React skills - React Native skills will be hugely favoured
* You care about the details - you’ve got an eye for great UI, animations, and transitions
* Experience working with designers (or the initiative to care even if you haven’t)
* Comfortable with state management tools like Redux, Context, or Recoil
* Confidence integrating with APIs and working across the stack
* Curious, self-starting, and adaptable - this is a fast-moving team
* Clear communicator who collaborates well in cross-functional settings
💡 Bonus Points For
* Experience with Expo, CI/CD, or GraphQL
* Exposure to AI dev tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot
* Side projects or open-source contributions - we love people who love to build
✨ Why Join?
* A mission that matters - helping people at every level of their careers
* Real ownership and impact - your work won’t be hidden behind layers of hierarchy
* Weekly team breakfasts, yoga, lunch & learns, and a genuinely supportive culture
* Founders with a track record - over $1Bn in shareholder returns across past ventures
* Competitive salary + great benefits (including enhanced parental leave and private health insurance)
