Frontend Developer (React / Typescript)

We’re working with a UK-based, product-led software company building a platform used by thousands of real users to solve a genuinely complex problem space.

This is a midweight frontend role for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end, thinking deeply about user experience, and working closely with backend and product peers in a low-ego, high-autonomy environment.

This is not a “pixel-pushing” role — frontend engineers here play a meaningful part in shaping the product.

The Role

You’ll be joining a small, experienced engineering team and working primarily on the frontend layer of a modern web application.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Build and evolve user-facing features using React and TypeScript
• Work closely with backend engineers to shape clean, practical APIs
• Translate complex workflows into clear, intuitive user experiences
• Take ownership of features from idea through to production
• Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and product decisions

You’ll be trusted to manage your own work, ask the right questions, and make sensible trade-offs.

What They’re Looking For

This role suits someone who is solid in fundamentals and keen to keep improving.

Core experience:

• Commercial experience building applications with React
• Strong working knowledge of TypeScript
• Confidence working with APIs and real-world data
• Good understanding of component design, state, and side-effects
• Comfortable reasoning about trade-offs rather than chasing “perfect” solutions

Equally important:

• Clear communication and low-ego collaboration
• An ownership mindset — you care about outcomes, not just tasks
• Curiosity about users and how the product is actually used
• Comfort working with ambiguity in a fast-moving product environment

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience in product-led or SaaS environments
• Exposure to performance, accessibility, or frontend testing
• Working closely with design or product teams
• An interest in improving developer experience and code quality over time

Working Style & Culture

This team operates with:

• High autonomy, low process
• Trust over micromanagement
• Direct, respectful communication
• A strong preference for thoughtful engineers who explain why, not just how

You won’t be handed step-by-step instructions — but you’ll always have support when you need it.

Location & Package

• £40,000 – £60,000 base salary (depending on experience)
• Midlands, Hybrid (one day in the office a week)
• Small team, real impact, and room to grow with the product

Who This Role Is Ideal For

• A mid-level frontend engineer ready for more ownership
• Someone who enjoys product thinking, not just implementation
• Engineers who want to work closely with strong peers and learn fast
• Developers who value autonomy, clarity, and low-ego teams
