Our client builds point-of-sale and payments technology for event organisers and traders. They are scaling fast and want a Lead Front-End Developer to own their frontend applications and the quality of the user experience across their products. You will set the front-end architecture across their portal and mobile ordering products, mentor a small team, and own the calls on tooling, standards, and release pipelines. You will work in React and TypeScript, sit close to product and design, and integrate APIs, payment flows, and live data with the backend team. It is a startup, so you will balance speed against quality every day.
Non-Negotiables
- Senior or lead front-end experience, deep and hands-on in React Component-driven architecture and state management (Redux, Context API)

Why Join
You own the front end outright: the architecture, the design system, the standards the team codes to. The business is scaling, so what you ship now shapes the product for years, and you see it in the field the moment the gates open. It suits someone who wants autonomy and accountability over process. If you need heavy structure and long sign-off chains, this is not the seat.
