The Role In the role of Frontend Engineer, you will be essential in bringing our digital interfaces to life.
You will work intimately with UX/Design, backend developers, product managers, and end-users.
Your role is crucial in creating intuitive, user-centered experiences that will delight our customers and drive the success of our products.
Our current tech stack includes Typescript, React, React-hooks-form, Tailwind, Vitest, Cypress & Playwright, Visx, and Storybook/Chromatic.
The stack is reviewed regularly and aims to strike a balance between team independence and ensuring visual consistency across the app suite.
As you'd expect from a modern software organization, we are built on a foundation of DevOps principles.
Our teams are long-lived and encouraged to organize around the principles of Kanban: fast flow of value, limiting work-in-process, and a whole-team approach to accountability, shared goals, and continuous improvement.
Whilst many of our engineers remain specialized, we encourage a 'full stack' approach, and there is ample opportunity to cross-skill if it helps your team (our front end is built on Typescript & React).
We believe every team member has unique insights to offer, and we welcome your contributions across the board.
Join us in shaping a workspace where your ideas fuel innovation and where your impact is seen and appreciated.
