Senior Frontend Engineer (React / Next.js) - Herefordshire/Hybrid
We’re working with a well-established, growing organisation that has recently undergone a major transformation across its technology function, with significant investment and huge growth within the technical team.
As part of this continued growth, they’re now looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer with strong React and Next.js experience to join the team.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence frontend architecture, make important technical decisions, improve engineering standards and play a key role in how customer-facing applications are designed, built and delivered.
This is a role for someone who wants genuine ownership. You’ll be trusted to work with a high degree of autonomy, bring fresh ideas to the table and take responsibility for solutions from initial concept through to production.
The Role
- Designing and developing scalable React and Next.js applications
- Helping shape frontend architecture and technical standards
- Making decisions around component architecture, state management and application performance
- Improving page performance, rendering and bundle sizes
- Taking ownership of the quality and testing of your code
- Writing clean, maintainable and well-tested code, including unit testing
- Contributing to technical strategy and identifying opportunities for improvement
- Working with cloud-based environments and supporting live production applications
- Considering resilience, scalability and performance throughout the development lifecycle
- Championing accessibility and ensuring applications meet strong accessibility standards
- Working closely with wider engineering teams to establish and improve development practices
- Mentoring and supporting more junior engineers
- Exploring and adopting AI-assisted development tools where they can genuinely improve productivity and delivery
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
