My client is seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer with deep expertise in React and experience working within AWS-based environments to help lead the development of high-performance, scalable user interfaces for a next-generation web platform. You’ll be joining a forward-thinking team of engineers and designers who are dedicated to building seamless digital experiences in a modern cloud-first stack.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading the design and development of rich, user-centric front-end applications using React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript libraries.
* Collaborating with product managers, designers, and back-end teams to deliver impactful features in a cloud-native architecture.
* Integrating front-end components with AWS-hosted services such as API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito, S3, and CloudFront.
* Driving front-end best practices in performance, accessibility, and testing.
* Mentoring junior developers and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.
What we’re looking for:
* 5+ years of front-end development experience, with significant hands-on work in React.
* Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3/SASS.
* Experience working with AWS services, especially those relevant to front-end integration (e.g., S3, CloudFront, Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda).
* Solid understanding of state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, or similar).
* Familiarity with automated testing frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, or Cypress.
* A strong grasp of responsive design, performance optimisation, and user-centric UI/UX.
* Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.
Nice to have:
* Experience with server-side rendering frameworks like Next.js.
* Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., AWS CDK, Terraform).
* Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, particularly those running in AWS environments.
* Understanding of accessibility standards and design systems.
Why join?
* Build modern, cloud-native web apps from the ground up.
* Work with a team that values autonomy, innovation, and technical excellence.
