Senior Front End Engineer

We’re looking for a brilliant and ambitious Senior Front End Engineer to join our team! If you dream in components, thrive on building intuitive digital experiences and love a good design system as much as a well structured PR, this one’s for you.

You’ll own and evolve our front end engineering strategy, lead complex projects and mentor others to raise the bar across Razor. You’ll bring both commercial savvy and engineering excellence to the table, helping us and our clients deliver beautiful, performant and accessible applications.

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, and Razor’s cutting-edge tech culture has you curious, we’d love to chat!

You kick off the day reviewing code review requests, giving thoughtful feedback and sharing a pattern from our internal component library to speed things up. After a quick stand up, you jump into an architecture session for a new client portal - you’re leading the front end, defining the approach, setting up the structure and helping decide whether to use Vue or React based on the business need.

Later in the day, you present a solution walkthrough to the client, demoing a recent build and walking them through design decisions with confidence and clarity. You finish on a high - you pair up with a team mate to solve a tricky bug and support their development journey. No two days are the same, but every one feels like progress.

Be a subject matter expert in front end development, with advanced skills in React and Vue, including state management, performance optimisation and component architecture.
