Frontend Engineer

Since 2015, Lounge has evolved from an eCommerce underwear brand into an omnichannel modern fashion house, inspiring women to feel empowered, beautiful, sexy, and comfortable in their own skin. We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help shape the next phase of that journey. As a Senior, you'll be a key technical contributor, owning significant product areas, influencing frontend architecture, and mentoring other engineers. You'll work closely with the Head of Engineering and your peers on complex projects, new technologies, and continual improvement of our platform and practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain frontend applications that power our customer experiences.
• Take ownership of key product areas, from discovery through to delivery and iteration.
• Collaborate daily with Product, UI/UX, and e-commerce teams to create seamless customer journeys.
• Contribute to the evolution of our frontend architecture and coding standards.
• Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Facilitate technical discussions and contribute to solution design, clearly communicating ideas through whiteboarding and presentations.
• Work with modern web technologies such as React, TypeScript, Shopify, Liquid, and Tailwind CSS.
• Use tools like Storybook to develop modular, scalable, and reusable UI components.
• Leverage cloud services (primarily AWS) and help evolve our commerce/composable architecture.
• Champion best practices to ensure quality at speed (testing, performance, maintainability).
• Integrate frontend with backend services, drawing on your knowledge of Node.js and frameworks such as NestJS.

Qualifications

• Proven experience building, deploying, and maintaining modern frontend applications in production.
• Strong proficiency with TypeScript, React, Shopify, and Jest.
• Solid knowledge of Node.js and ideally NestJS.
• Familiarity with commerce and composable architecture.
• A strong grounding in automated testing practices.
• Experience mentoring and supporting other engineers, and contributing to a healthy team culture.
• Experience working in cross‑functional, agile product teams.
• Previous experience in a Software Engineering role (e.g., Frontend, Full‑stack).
• Exposure to different types of organisations—from start‑ups/scale‑ups to larger enterprises.
• An understanding of AWS or another major cloud platform.
• Familiarity with build tools such as Vite, esbuild, and Rollup.
• (Nice to have) Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure‑as‑code tools.

Company Culture

• We treat many aspects of e-commerce as a science and act accordingly.
• We give you time and space to innovate rather than simply maximise output.
• We hire experts and passionate people who are comfortable speaking up and teaching others.
• We buy rather than build commodity software—we're not here to reinvent HR systems.
• We think big and bet big; when we find a meaningful opportunity, we commit and act.
• We believe we'll win by sustainably out‑innovating our competition, backed by strong engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD, functional techniques, and whatever comes next).
