This is an opportunity to shape the technical direction of a customer-facing platform used by millions of users worldwide while remaining hands-on with modern frontend technologies.

Provide hands-on technical leadership across frontend development using React, Type Script, Node.js and Material UI.

Define and maintain engineering standards across architecture, code quality, testing, performance and accessibility. Lead code reviews and technical design discussions for scalable, high-performance frontend solutions. Mentor and support developers, helping to improve technical capability across the team.
Work closely with the Delivery Manager and key stakeholders to manage technical priorities, risks and dependencies. Drive continuous improvement across engineering processes, tooling and development practices. Support production systems and participate in an on-call rota during peak trading periods. Key Requirements of the Lead Frontend Developer:
Extensive commercial experience developing applications using React and Type Script. Strong commercial experience with Node.js. Previous experience providing technical leadership, including setting engineering standards, leading code reviews and coordinating technical delivery. Strong understanding of frontend architecture, responsive design and UI performance optimisation. Experience delivering complex customer-facing web applications whilst remaining hands-on with development. Ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Proven experience mentoring developers and improving engineering capability. Desired experience:
Next.js, Material UI, Micro Frontends, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Microsoft Azure, web accessibility and inclusive design, Agile delivery environments, and large-scale eCommerce or other high-traffic public-facing platforms.
