Web Developer (React & Node.js) – Borehamwood (Onsite 3 days a week) – £60,000

My client is looking for a skilled Web Developer to contribute to the rebuild of a CMS-driven platform, developing and maintaining both the React frontend and Node.js backend as the system transitions to a scalable, modular architecture.

While expertise in both areas is not essential, you should be confident working across the full stack, collaborating with the existing development team to refine prototypes, build a comprehensive templating solution, and integrate API services that power the CMS.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to expand your full-stack expertise, work with a modern tech stack, and play a key role in shaping the platform’s architecture.

Scope & Responsibilities

As a CMS and API Developer, you will be responsible for:

• Frontend & Backend Development
• Developing, enhancing, and maintaining a modular, tiered templating engine for white-labelled CMS deployments.
• Implementing reusable static and dynamic templates for client-specific branding.
• Supporting the integration of CMS functionalities into dynamic widgets and APIs.
• Developing and integrating React-based front-end components to ensure a seamless and dynamic user experience.
• Creating performant, scalable backend APIs using Node.js to support CMS functionalities and dynamic content delivery.
• Optimising the platform for performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Working closely with frontend and backend specialists to modernise content management capabilities.
• Creating clear and comprehensive documentation for CMS workflows, APIs, and related systems.
• Troubleshooting and resolving issues in the CMS and API layers, minimising disruptions and enhancing user experience.
• Maintaining excellent relationships with the Development Team, Project Managers, Quality Assurance team, and other stakeholders.

Additional Responsibilities

• Assisting with ad hoc tasks as required.

Requirements & Experience

Technical Skills

• 5+ years’ experience as a web developer in an Agile environment.
• Strong experience in React development, with a focus on modular, component-driven architecture.
• Solid understanding of frontend technologies, including HTML APIs, modern CSS (SASS, Tailwind, Bootstrap), and responsive design principles.
• Experience with UI libraries (e.g. Material UI, Mantine UI) is desirable.
• Proficiency in integrating RESTful APIs or other data sources.
• Experience working in a Node.js development environment, with knowledge of backend frameworks such as Next.js, NestJS, Astro, or Remix.
• Experience with testing frameworks for both frontend (Jest, Cypress) and backend.
• Familiarity with modern software delivery tools (Git, YAML, Docker, CI/CD pipelines).
• Experience working with relational (SQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases.
• Knowledge of cloud-based infrastructure, particularly AWS services (S3, ECS, Lambda).
• Familiarity with state management frameworks (e.g. Redux) is desirable.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills – team fit is essential.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving.
• High attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
