The Opportunity
Our client is a well-established, enterprise-scale SaaS organisation undergoing a significant period of digital platform evolution. Their products support high-volume, business-critical workflows used daily by customers across multiple markets.
The front-end function plays a key role in shaping how users interact with complex systems, and this hire is part of a wider investment in building modern, scalable, and performant user interfaces. This is an opportunity to join a product-led engineering environment where front-end is treated as a core discipline, not a supporting function.

* Developing scalable, reusable UI components and design systems
* Collaborating with Product Managers and Designers to translate requirements into high-quality user experiences
* Integrating front-end applications with complex back-end APIs
* Ensuring performance, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility
* Contributing to front-end standards, tooling, and best practices
* Supporting and mentoring more junior engineers where appropriate

* Experience working with RESTful APIs and asynchronous data flows
* Familiarity with front-end testing approaches and tooling
* Experience working in Agile, product-focused engineering teams
* Strong attention to detail with a focus on performance and usability
Experience with TypeScript, state management libraries, or modern front-end build tooling is advantageous.
Why Join
* Enterprise SaaS platform with real-world complexity and scale
* Front-end engineering is a strategic investment area
* Hybrid working with a collaborative Manchester-based team
* Competitive salary up to £70k
