Description
- Solve structural problems and build systems that make other developers faster
- Establish architecture, patterns, and standards other teams will build on
- Influence the direction of our frontend platform for years to come
The Role
Build the platform that powers the next generation of our products.
Most frontend roles are about building features.
This one is about building the platform those features run on.
We’re undertaking a significant frontend evolution — modernising legacy systems, migrating to a modern React and Typescript ecosystem, expanding our shared design system, and building a centralised frontend portal that multiple engineering teams will plug into.
If you enjoy solving structural problems, setting engineering standards, and building systems that make other developers faster, this role gives you the space to do exactly that.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll design and deliver high-quality software while helping raise the quality, clarity, and velocity of the engineers around you.
You’ll work closely with Product, Design, QA, and other engineering teams to build scalable, user-focused software and contribute to the evolution of our frontend platform.
The Work
Solve Real Engineering Problems at Scale
You’ll work on challenges that require both technical depth and product thinking, building software that directly impacts how millions of users interact with our platform.
Spearheading Our Frontend Evolution
Drive the migration of legacy frontends into the modern React ecosystem, improving maintainability, performance, and developer experience.
Scaling Our Design System
Expand and evolve a shared component library and design system used by multiple product teams across the organisation.
Building a Unified Frontend Platform
Help build a centralised frontend portal from the ground up and establish integration patterns that allow domain teams to plug in seamlessly.
Shipping High-Quality Software
Design and deliver robust, scalable applications that ship regularly to production and deliver measurable business value.
Raising the Engineering Bar
Review code, mentor engineers, and contribute to the engineering practices that shape how we build software.
Our Tech Stack
Senior engineers care about how software gets built, not just what gets built.
Here’s a snapshot of the environment you’ll be working in.
- React + Typescript driving our modern frontend architecture
- NodeJS services supporting frontend experiences and integrations
- A growing design system and shared component library used across multiple product teams
- CI/CD pipelines enabling frequent, reliable production releases
- Collaborative code reviews and design discussions as part of everyday engineering work
- Cloud infrastructure running on AWS
- A strong focus on security and compliance, given the nature of our platform
We believe great software comes from thoughtful engineers working together, not rigid processes. Engineers here are trusted to contribute ideas, improve systems, and help shape how we build.
What You’ll Bring
You’re an experienced engineer who enjoys building systems that last, improving how teams work, and creating software that people genuinely enjoy using.
Core skills
- Strong experience with Typescript and React
- Solid frontend fundamentals in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
- Experience building NodeJS services
- Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs
Nice to have
- Experience working with GraphQL
Familiarity with
- Source control workflows using Git
- Relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MS SQL
- NoSQL databases such as MongoDB or DynamoDB
- AWS or other cloud infrastructure
- Microservices and distributed systems
- CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
- Messaging frameworks such as RabbitMQ, SQS, or Kinesis
What Success Looks Like
In this role you will:
- Deliver clean, scalable, production-ready software
- Break down complex initiatives into clear, well-scoped work
- Help modernise and improve our frontend architecture
- Coach and mentor other engineers
- Identify risks and improvements early
- Contribute to engineering culture, practices, and standards
You’ll be trusted to self-manage your work, communicate clearly, and collaborate closely with engineering and product teams.
Why You Should Care
You’ll join a team where engineers have real influence over architecture and technical direction.
This role sits at the centre of a significant frontend modernisation effort — untangling legacy systems, defining platform standards, and enabling teams across the organisation to build faster.
If you enjoy solving meaningful engineering problems and leaving systems better than you found them, this is the role for you!
