Job description

MCS Group is proud to partner exclusively with a thriving software company on the hunt for a Lead Front-End Developer to join one of their expanding software development teams.

With an established local footprint and growing global reach, this business builds multiple software products that help a diverse client base unlock the full potential of their data. They're scaling fast and investing heavily in product innovation - with exciting work underway in AI.

What's in it for you?

This is an ideal opportunity for a Senior or Lead Front-End Developer looking to step into a hybrid leadership role - where you'll mentor a small team (4-5 front-end developers) while continuing to contribute hands-on to product development.

You'll enjoy:

• A strong balance of technical leadership and individual contribution.

• Autonomy to shape UI and UX across several products.

• The chance to influence how front-end development and design are done across the business.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading front-end development across new and existing products.

• Playing a key role in the shift to a micro-frontend architecture.

• Creating intuitive, scalable UIs with React.

• Contributing to UI/UX direction, working with tools like Figma to mock up designs.

• Coaching and mentoring junior team members while being supported by a collaborative senior leadership team.

What we're looking for:

• Strong front-end development experience with React

• A keen eye for UI design and an interest in user experience

• Comfortable with design tools like Figma and happy to create prototypes when needed

• Experience mentoring or leading developers is ideal - or a genuine interest in stepping into a leadership role

Salary

• Up to £80,000 depending on experience with a package which includes full private health, 5% pension, 23 days holidays and flexible working.
