We have an opportunity for a Senior Front-End Developer to join a rapidly scaling, digital platform. After doubling their user base in the last year, the company is looking for a technical specialist to take full ownership of the front-end experience.

You will be joining a reinforced engineering team to bridge the gap between high-end UI design and technical implementation. This is a role for a developer who is meticulous about the little details, page load times, modular architecture, and creating a seamless, user experience.

• Greater London / South East (on-site parking available)
• Hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 remote)
• £60,000 – £75,000

The Technical Landscape

• Primary Stack: Expert-level Vue.js, JavaScript, and CSS.
• Design-Led: Collaborating with a specialised design team to deliver pixel-perfect, high-fidelity UI.
• Innovation: Building modular features for complex user permissions, gamification engines, and high-traffic platform tools.
• Ecosystem: The platform uses a Laravel headless backend; while you aren’t expected to be a backend dev, an understanding of how to work within this ecosystem is a plus.
• Modern Workflow: Embracing AI-assisted productivity tools (like Claude Code) to enhance output while maintaining strong manual reasoning and logic.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of commercial experience, ideally in a fast-paced agency or product-led environment.
• Frontend Mastery: Deep expertise in Vue.js and a solid grasp of modern HTML/CSS.
• Ownership: A proactive do-er who takes responsibility for code quality and testing.
• Detail Oriented: Meticulous attention to detail and a passion for high-performance web systems.

Benefits

• Technical Ownership: You will be a senior voice for the front-end, responsible for setting the quality bar and ensuring the UI is as robust as the backend.
• Focus on UI: With a 4-person backend team and a dedicated design team, you can focus on what you do best: building incredible, high-performance user interfaces.
• Scale and Innovation: You’ll be building features for a platform with a rapidly doubling user base, including international launches and complex gamification systems.
• AI-Forward: The team uses the latest AI tools to boost productivity, looking for developers who want to work smarter, not harder.
• Life Balance: The office is based in South-East London, offering an easier commute for those in Kent/SE London who want to avoid the central London rush while still working on a top-tier product.
