Senior Frontend Engineer (React & Cross-Platform)
Location: Central London (Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office)
We're partnering with an innovative technology company developing AI-powered software that transforms video data into actionable insights. Their flagship platform combines cutting-edge computer vision with intuitive applications used by customers globally, and they're now looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to take ownership of the product as it moves fully in-house.
This is an opportunity to join a small, highly technical team where you'll have genuine ownership over the frontend architecture, technical direction and delivery across multiple platforms.
The Role
You'll become the technical owner of an established production application built in React, taking responsibility for its continued evolution across web, iOS and Android.
You'll be responsible for understanding the existing architecture, evaluating the current codebase and making key technical decisions around whether components should be maintained, refactored or redesigned. Working closely with backend and machine learning engineers, you'll build new functionality, improve reliability and own the complete release process across all supported platforms.
