Job description

At Convergence Group, we’ve spent the last 20 years building a business that lasts - powered by resilience, continuous improvement, and a strong commitment to our customers. As we enter an exciting phase of growth, we’re looking for a Front End Software Engineer with strong React.js skills to help us design and build the next generation of software that powers our bespoke customer portal and internal systems.

What It’s Like Here

The pace and intensity are higher than most environments in our sector. The workload is typically around 30% greater than many people will have experienced elsewhere - not because we are chaotic, but because we are ambitious and constantly building. We grow organically and through acquisition, continuously integrating, improving and raising the bar. The landscape evolves, priorities shift, and expectations rise. If you prefer a predictable, static environment, this probably won’t feel comfortable. If you are energised by growth, movement and high standards, it can be deeply rewarding.

Your strengths will have a bigger platform here - and you will be stretched behaviourally more than in most environments. We value respectful honesty: anyone can challenge an idea; hierarchy doesn’t protect thinking and getting it right matters more than being right. Ego doesn’t perform well here; curiosity, learning and ownership do. We hire people who are already strong at their craft - the stretch at Convergence Group is navigating pace, complexity and constant evolution. This environment isn’t for everyone, but for the right person it offers an exceptional opportunity for impact, growth and accelerated development.

What you’ll be doing as our Front End Software Engineer:

• Build and maintain high-quality, scalable web applications using web development frameworks and libraries (e.g. React, Next.js, Blazor) JavaScript, TypeScript and Azure services.
• Design intuitive front-end experiences and robust back-end logic with seamless client-server integration.
• Implement new features using frameworks, APIs, and databases.
• Ensure software quality with unit, integration, and automated testing.
• Collaborate in Agile environments (e.g. Scrum or Kanban) - participating in standups, sprint planning, and delivery.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve application issues.
• Engage in code reviews to maintain standards, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning.
• Drive improvements across the SDLC: tools, pipelines, architecture, and documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience of React.js
• Knowledge of modern JavaScript frameworks such as Next.js or Blazor
• Proven front end development experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript
• Experience working knowledge of Azure cloud services and SQL databases
• A solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices
• Hands-on experience managing and integrating 3rd party or internal API’s
• Familiarity with tools like Postman, Swagger, or similar platforms for testing and validating API requests and responses
• Comfort with Agile methodologies using Scrum or Kanban
• Good understanding of UX / UI principles, and the ability to translate complex requirements from BA’s and Stakeholders into effective solutions
• Technologies it’s useful to know include: Laravel, C#, Knockout.js
• Bonus points for exposure to IT service management tools such as ServiceNow and experience working within a fast‑paced SME environment

What You’ll Get

• Salary: £50-60,000 for experienced A players
• Time off: 33 days holiday, including bank holidays (and yes, it gets better)
• Benefits: Private Medical, enhanced Pension, Income Protection & Life Assurance
• Work-life balance: flexible core hours + hybrid working with 3 days a week in the Solihull office
• Dog friendly office - yes really!

Where A-Players come to make a difference

If you’re a Front-End Software Engineer who thrives on tackling complex systems, writing clean, maintainable code, and collaborating with a smart, high-performing team, we want to hear from you. Join us and take ownership of solutions that shape the future of connectivity, in an environment where your skills, curiosity, and drive will be stretched - and rewarded.
