Position Summary

My client is looking for a capable Front End Developer at either the mid or senior level to design, build, and maintain modern web applications across their platform. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role with a strong emphasis on producing clean, maintainable, high-quality user interfaces that integrate reliably with backend services and the broader product ecosystem.
The successful candidate will work primarily within a modern React-based frontend stack, collaborating closely with backend developers, product stakeholders, QA, and DevOps to ship production-ready features. This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in quality, usability, and execution — not just getting screens across the line.

About the Role

You’ll contribute to the ongoing development of a modern application platform built on React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and integrations with .NET-based APIs and microservices. You’ll help establish reusable frontend patterns, improve UI consistency, and ensure the user experience is responsive, accessible, and commercially sound.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain high-quality web application interfaces using React and TypeScript
  • Build reusable UI components and contribute to consistent frontend architecture and patterns
  • Translate product requirements, workflows, and mockups into robust, production-ready screens
  • Integrate frontend applications with REST APIs and backend services
  • Collaborate with backend developers to ensure clean contracts between the frontend and server-side systems
  • Implement responsive layouts that perform well across desktop and mobile
  • Improve application usability, performance, accessibility, and visual consistency
  • Contribute to code reviews, estimation, technical discussions, and delivery planning
  • Write maintainable, testable code and support automated testing where appropriate
  • Help identify and address technical debt within the frontend codebase
  • Contribute to design system thinking, documentation, and internal frontend standards
  • Work within established delivery practices using Git, pull requests, and structured development workflows

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Commercial experience in frontend development using React and TypeScript
  • Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS
  • Proven ability to build component-based interfaces in a structured and maintainable way
  • Experience with Tailwind CSS or comparable modern styling approaches
  • Familiarity with a modern frontend toolchain such as Vite

Desirable Skills and Experience

  • Experience working alongside .NET backend teams or in API-driven microservice environments
  • Exposure to frontend testing tools such as Vitest, Jest, Playwright, or Cypress
  • Experience contributing to a shared component library or design system
  • Background in B2B SaaS, workflow platforms, low-code/no-code systems, or enterprise applications
  • Familiarity with Azure-hosted environments and modern CI/CD practices
  • Experience with GitHub, Azure DevOps, or similar delivery tooling
  • Awareness of application security considerations on the frontend

Qualifications

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline; or
  • Equivalent commercial experience demonstrating strong capability in modern frontend development
