About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer (Frontend) to provide technical leadership for the frontend architecture of a next-generation data visualisation and analytics platform.

You will play a key role in delivering high-performance, data-rich user experiences that enable users to explore data, uncover insights, compare scenarios and interact with AI-driven features.

Working within a React-based micro-frontend architecture, you will build flexible and reusable interfaces using a shared Highcharts-based charting library, APIs and an established design system.

This is an excellent opportunity for a frontend engineer who enjoys working on complex, data-intensive applications and wants significant autonomy and ownership over a high-profile product area.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the frontend architecture and implementation of a next-generation data visualisation and analytics platform.
• Develop and maintain reusable frontend components and interaction patterns, including chart layouts, filtering, comparison views and data-driven experiences.
• Build fast, scalable and highly responsive user interfaces, with a strong focus on perceived performance.
• Drive testing, quality and reliability across complex frontend functionality and data interactions.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Data, AI and UX teams to deliver high-quality user experiences.
• Work with and evolve an existing token-first design system, ensuring consistency across the platform.
• Lead features and product areas end-to-end, making pragmatic technical decisions and driving delivery.
• Adopt modern AI-assisted and agentic coding practices to accelerate development, refactoring and exploration while maintaining ownership of architecture, code quality and production outcomes.
• 5+ years' commercial experience building complex frontend applications with React.
• Expert-level TypeScript skills with strong frontend architecture experience.
• Proven experience developing data-intensive user interfaces, such as dashboards, analytics platforms or data visualisation products.
• Experience with charting libraries and an understanding of performance considerations when working with large or high-frequency datasets.
• Experience working with micro-frontend or modular frontend architectures.
• Strong understanding of state management, asynchronous data flows and complex UI logic.
• Experience working with an established design system and token-first approach.
• Ability to take ownership of a feature or product area from concept through to delivery.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working alongside UX, Product and Data teams.
• Comfortable working with complex subject matter and translating requirements into effective user experiences.
• Full-stack development experience with Node.js / TypeScript and ExpressJS, particularly in developing APIs for frontend consumption.
• Experience working with AWS-hosted applications.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices.
• Experience developing AI-adjacent user interfaces, such as generated content, explainability features or interactive AI outputs.
• Experience working with complex or technical domains where data visualisation and analytics are central to the user experience.
• Private Medical Insurance
• Parental Support
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Local Oxford Discounts
• Cycle-to-work Scheme
• Flu Jabs
• Hybrid working with 3 days per week onsite in Oxford
• Flexible working arrangements where appropriate
