Lead front-end architecture for a high-growth SaaS using React & TypeScript. Join a values-led, modern team.
Why You’d Like It
This is a rare opportunity to take the lead on the look, feel, and functionality of a platform used by some of the world's most recognised brands. You’ll be joining a team that genuinely lives its values, offering a modern workplace where you’re trusted to make significant technology decisions that drive long-term success. If you value stability, a safety-to-fail environment, and the chance to develop your individual strengths, this role offers the perfect balance of innovation and professional growth.

The Story
Having experienced double-digit growth for nearly a decade, this organisation is at a pivotal turning point. They are transforming from a niche compliance tool into a full-service asset management powerhouse.

It’s about more than just writing code; it’s about setting the standard for how they deliver value to their clients for years to come.

Company Profile

  • Contributing to technical documentation, user guides, and runbooks for the wider engineering team.
      
  • Ensuring code is secure, observable, and optimised for the corporate browser settings it needs to run on.
      
Your Fit
  • You have at least 5 years of experience developing internet-scale, multi-region web or cloud products.
      
  • You have a deep passion for building software that is scalable, secure, and truly customer-centric.

  • You are familiar with AWS infrastructure or similar cloud platforms for modern software delivery.
      
  • You can architect complex solutions and break them down into manageable, independent pieces of work.
      
  • You are an excellent communicator who can discuss work in technical, business, and customer-value dimensions.
