As a Front-End Software Developer, youll perform full end to end development from design, implementation, through to testing and deployment of a user interface to a system that allows our customers to keep the nation safe.

The Key Requirements...

• An exposure to some, but not all of the below (that would be an ideal);
• Development experience using reactive Javascript frameworks (e.g. Reach, React).
• Developing UI tests utilising tools such Selenium, Jest or Cypress.
• Javascript tooling and deployment (e.g. Npm, ESLint, Babel, Prettier).
• Module Bundlers (esbuild, parcel, vite, webpack).
• Responsive design and UI frameworks (e.g. Material UI) including cross browser compatibility.
• Understanding of accessibility standards and specifications such as WCAG, WAI-ARIA etc.
• CI pipelines (e.g. Gitlab CI).
• Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• Any UX experience including Wireframing, Story boarding using tools such as Figma, and user testing.
  
  

Built on over a 60 year heritage, Roke offers specialist knowledge in sensors, communications, cyber, and AI and ML. We change the way organisations think and act through dynamic insights from the analysis of multiple layers of data. We take care of the innovative, technical stuff that keeps everyone safe thats our mission, passion, and motivation.

We have secured long term work, across the full spectrum, on the latest framework with the client, which provides the springboard for our ongoing growth and development in this domain, so join us on what will be an incredible growth journey.
