It's not just about building components. It's about shaping how the platform evolves. With the move away from agencies, you'll play a key role in establishing in-house capability. It's a genuine opportunity to take ownership and influence how things are done moving forward.
What you'll need to succeed:
- Strong React/TypeScript development experience (3+ years)
- AWS Cloud experience
- Must have experience working with headless or API-driven architectures
- Experience with or exposure to headless CMS platforms such as Hygraph
- Good understanding of GraphQL and modern data fetching approaches
- Understanding of PWA concepts and frontend performance optimisation
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage non-technical stakeholders
