Senior Front End Engineer (React & React Native) | AI-Driven Development
Location: UK (Hybrid / Remote)
Reporting to: CTO
Company Size: ~50 EmployeesAre you a Senior Engineer who wants to define the front-end architecture for the next decadeand use a cutting-edge AI stack to do it?I am partnering with a specialist software vendor that is currently building the next generation of its global enterprise platform. This isnt just another \"feature-factory\" role; we are looking for a foundational Senior Front End Engineer to lead a greenfield transition across web and mobile, establishing the patterns and standards that will scale for years to come.The Role: Architecture + Innovation
Reporting directly to the CTO, you will own the front-end strategy. Youll be designing a robust, scalable architecture using React and React Native, but with a modern twist: you will be expected to lead the charge on AI-driven development. We want someone who leverages tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Figma Make to accelerate delivery without sacrificing an ounce of engineering discipline.What youll be doing:
* Lead Architecture: Design and implement a modern front-end ecosystem for both web (React) and mobile (React Native).
* AI Orchestration: Define the guardrails for AI-assisted codingidentifying where LLMs add value and where traditional, high-grade engineering discipline is non-negotiable.
* High-Stakes UX: Translate complex, data-heavy B2B workflows into clean, ultra-efficient interfaces where speed and clarity are more important than \"visual flair.\"
* Technical Authority: Act as the internal expert, mentoring other engineers and establishing standards for code quality, testing, and documentation.
* Rapid Prototyping: Use modern AI prototyping tools (e.g., Google Stitch, Code-to-Canvas) to iterate on UI concepts at pace.
What you need to bring:
* SME Software Pedigree: Youve worked in a small-to-medium software vendor before. You thrive in \"all-hands-on-deck\" environments where you seek out context, not just requirements.
* React & React Native Mastery: 5+ years of production-grade experience, with a deep understanding of state management (Zustand/Redux) and API integration.
* AI Enthusiast: You are already using LLMs to drive your productivity and are excited about evolving engineering workflows through AI.
* Product Mindset: You don't just write UI code; you want to deeply understand the business domain and customer workflows to build better outcomes.
* Resilience: You are comfortable operating in a high-impact team where uptime and operational reliability are critical.
Bonus Points for:
* Experience in Logistics, Aviation, or Enterprise SaaS.
* Exposure to WebSockets, real-time systems, or Native Android development.
* A background in C#, Python, or SQL.
Why this role?
This is a rare opportunity to join a stable, successful company at the start of a massive technical evolution. You will have the autonomy to choose the tools, set the standards, and play a foundational role in shaping the future of the platform.If you are a self-motivated engineer who focuses on outcomes over activity, apply today.
