Graduate Frontend Engineer

Acre is rebuilding the UK’s £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages. Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We are covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow to getting your keys. We are guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.

Over the past year, mortgage submissions through our platform have grown by 200%, a clear sign that we are helping mortgage businesses scale faster and smarter. As we continue to grow, we are looking for ambitious people to join us in transforming the industry and shaping the future of home buying. The start of 2026 has already been exciting, as Acre is now part of The ClearScore Group. This partnership strengthens our ability to innovate and deliver the best mortgage and protection platform.

The Role: We are looking for a graduate with a passion for frontend development who wants to be a part of a fast-growing startup that is transforming the way we buy homes. Your role will be to work closely with the engineering team to help build out the platform in a manner that is highly reliable, consistent and secure. You will be highly motivated, technology agnostic and proud of the work you produce.

What you’ll be doing: You’ll be joining our Frontend team who are responsible for the design, implementation and testing of the user interfaces that empower consumers, brokers and operational functions to efficiently manage the home buying process. As part of your role, you will get the chance to work with modern and reliable frameworks and languages. You will have the chance to deep dive into React to write our components, use Typescript to ensure we have strongly typed Javascript, and Apollo and Context for our state management. These will be your bread and butter, but sometimes you will also come across some RxJS and some Handlebars, but not to worry, the team are on hand to help you. You will be expected to write reusable, tested and efficient code that is always production ready and to be responsible for the whole lifecycle of the components you build.

Who you will be: You should be passionate about software engineering and about delivering a quality product. You should have an understanding of automated testing platforms and unit tests, as well as security and reliability concerns. Experience of a range of languages, frameworks and patterns is essential. A 2:1 or higher degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or other scientific disciplines, or equivalent experience is required.

What we offer: A chance to make an impact within a high growth fintech start-up, monthly team social events, from trips to Brighton to picnics in the park, one week of free accommodation for those relocating, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, opportunity to earn equity through our EMI option scheme, company laptop and supporting tech, private healthcare and a cash plan, pension contribution matched by Acre up to 4%, cycle to work scheme, breakfast, snacks and drinks provided in our vibrant Shoreditch office.

We are looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is tackling a big problem space, then we’d love to hear from you. We’re eager to receive applications from all backgrounds, including from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there’s anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.
