Frontend Vue Developer

Location:

UK-based, able to be in London ~1x per month

This role is for UK based candidates, I will not have time to reply to applications from candidates outside of the UK.

We’re looking for a senior frontend engineer to take ownership of a large Vue application and lead a full Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration, while raising overall frontend quality and reliability.

• Own and lead the Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration, including handling deprecations and breaking changes.
• Migrate state management from Vuex to Pinia and rationalise store structure.
• Replace deprecated/legacy UI dependencies (e.g. Bootstrap Vue) with a more modern approach.
• Improve structure, testing, performance and maintainability of the frontend.
• Work closely with product/design and marketing on a highly visual UI, plus take over the marketing site front-end longer term.
• Define your own work, manage delivery end-to-end, and operate with high autonomy.

• Senior-level frontend engineer with substantial Vue experience:
• Strong Vue 2 in production on complex SPAs.
• Solid Vue 3 experience and/or proven framework migration work.
• Hands-on experience refactoring or migrating legacy frontends (ideally Vue 2 to Vue 3, Vuex to Pinia).
• Proven tenure in product companies (not primarily freelancing/bootcamps/short contracts).
• Comfortable working directly with non-technical stakeholders, without heavy PM/BA support.
• UK work authorisation and ability to attend London office roughly once per month.

Nice to have:
Type Script in Vue, Nuxt, prior work replacing Bootstrap Vue, some backend exposure (e.g. Node) and comfort using AI tools once fundamentals are applied correctly.
