Job Description
Your Role: Senior Frontend React Developer
The Shared team builds and maintains the platforms that support the sales, trading and fulfilment of Global’s commercial inventory — including AdPower, order management and pricing portals used across the business.
As a Senior Frontend React Developer at Global, you’ll own the frontend technical direction across this space, working alongside the Tech Lead. You’ll drive architecture decisions, lead delivery across multiple products, and set the standard for how we build modern web applications using Next.js, TypeScript and headless CMS, with AI-assisted development embedded in day-to-day workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Technical Ownership & Architecture: Own the frontend technical direction across the Shared space, making architectural and implementation decisions with autonomy and aligning with wider Commercial Tech standards.
- Feature Delivery: Lead the delivery of features and products using Next.js (App Router), TypeScript and headless CMS (e.g. Directus), from technical planning through to production deployment and support.
- Shared Platform Contribution: Contribute to and consume shared component libraries, design tokens and cross-team packages that serve the wider Commercial Tech estate.
- AI-Assisted Development: Champion AI-assisted development practices, using tools such as Claude Code to accelerate delivery, generate tests, scaffold components and enable cross-discipline contribution.
- Collaboration & Mentoring: Work closely with product, design and engineering teams to ensure technical feasibility and alignment, and mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, code reviews and knowledge sharing.
- Standards & Governance: Support the Frontend Tech Lead in setting and maintaining coding standards, governance and architectural direction across the frontend landscape.
