The Opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Front End React Engineer to join a major digital transformation programme focused on modernising critical services. Working within a large Agile engineering team, you'll help build and enhance modern web applications while contributing to the migration of legacy functionality into new digital products.
This is a hands-on role for an experienced React engineer who can provide technical leadership, mentor junior team members, and contribute to the wider engineering capability. While the primary focus is Front End development, there is an opportunity to broaden your skills across the full technology stack.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design, develop, and maintain modern web applications using React and JavaScript.
- Work within Agile Scrum teams delivering high-quality software in two-week sprint cycles.
- Collaborate with Product Owners, Technical Leads, Designers, and Engineers to deliver business-critical solutions.
- Drive engineering best practices, code quality, and testing standards.
- Coach and mentor less experienced developers.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and solution development.
- Support automated testing and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Work closely with stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of product features.
- Develop a broader understanding of back-end technologies and cross-functional delivery.
