Introduction to the role
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll be the first permanent front end hire and will take responsibility for the front end experience across web and mobile. You'll play a key role in shaping and delivering software that is central to the business, while contributing to the practices and culture of the wider team.
The front end applications are a core part of the product. The hardest problems involve building media-heavy, high-performance experiences that work well across web and mobile. Performance, responsiveness, and reliability matter, as users spend long periods actively learning within the platform.
You'll be expected to
* Own and evolve the front end experience across web and mobile
* Design and build user-facing features used by a global audience
* Help shape product and technical decisions through experience and judgement
* Maintain a high bar for code quality, testing, and delivery
* Contribute across the full stack where it helps the team move faster
* Work closely with the wider team to solve real user problems
* Improve delivery and technical practices through collaboration and continuous improvement
Tech stack
* React
* React Native
* Testing
We value strong engineering fundamentals and product judgement over narrow framework expertise.
You might be a good fit if you...
* Have strong front end skills and care deeply about usability, performance, and polish
* Care about product outcomes and users, not just implementation details
* Have experience shipping and supporting production software in product teams
* Are comfortable taking ownership and working independently day to day
* Apply sound software design principles and write clear, maintainable code
* Write well-tested code, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
* Have experience with continuous delivery and automated release pipelines
* Are comfortable working across the full stack when needed
* Are experienced with modern cloud platforms and practices
* Communicate well and work effectively in collaborative environments
* Are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy working in early-stage, growing products
* Have an interest in music or creative technology (a bonus)
This role will not suit someone who needs detailed task breakdowns or close day-to-day direction. We're looking for someone comfortable identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving work forward independently.
Location
This is a hybrid role. The team works primarily remotely, with occasional in-person collaboration where it adds value.
Candidates should be within reasonable commuting distance of a major UK city and able to attend in-person working sessions on a semi-regular basis (typically 1–3 times per month).
Benefits
* A role with real ownership and impact
* Competitive salary
* The opportunity to shape the future of a fast-growing technology platform
