Job description

We anticipate relocating our in‑person operations to London, UK in late 2026 / early 2027. Applicants applying for Manchester‑based in‑person roles should be open to the possibility of relocation.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with designers—bring bold ideas to life by turning wireframes and mockups into beautiful, functional user experiences.
• Level up our website and dashboard—enhance performance, refine UX, and ship new features that make the customer experience more enjoyable.
• Ship mobile and desktop apps—from iOS to Windows, you’ll build cross‑platform experiences that our users love to use every day.
• Build out our proxy tool ecosystem—from browser extensions to fingerprint testing and automation tools, you’ll help expand our suite with powerful, user‑centric utilities.

What you are responsible for:

• Taking ownership of the products you build—from planning to production, you’ll be responsible for delivering polished, high‑impact features that users love.
• Leading creative designs—collaborate closely with the team to shape intuitive, beautiful interfaces that turn complexity into clarity.
• Driving technical decisions—you’ll help choose the right tools, frameworks, and architectures to keep our products fast, scalable, and future‑proof.

To crush it in this role, you’ll need:

• Experience with Next.js, React, and UIkit—you know how to build sleek, high‑performance UIs with modern tools, and you’re comfortable navigating and contributing to large, complex codebases.
• An eye for design and detail—you bring artistic vision and good taste to everything you build, from layout to micro‑interactions.
• Hands‑on experience developing and working with APIs—you’re comfortable connecting the dots between frontend and backend.
• Figma fluency—you can take design files and bring them to life with pixel‑perfect precision.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Thrive in an in‑person, high‑energy environment—we love bouncing ideas in real life.
• Are a creative builder—you love turning ideas into real, working products.
• Own your work like a founder—no one needs to chase you down; you take full responsibility and run with it.
• Love working in a fast‑paced team—startups move fast, and you’re here for the ride.
• Are obsessed with learning—you dive deep into new topics, master them quickly, and apply what you learn.
• Have built something cool before—a side project, an app, a browser extension, a tool you couldn’t find so you made it yourself—show us what you’ve created.
