Hybrid work in London (Farringdon)

Job summary

Eventogy is rebuilding its platform and seeks a front-end lead to own architecture, set standards for speed and scalability, and deliver a reusable component system in a hybrid role based in London. You will drive AI-assisted development and collaborate with product and delivery to shape what is built and how.

You will bring 5+ years of React/Next.js experience on SaaS, deep JS/HTML/CSS, and fluency with Cursor/Claude. Expect ownership, accountability, and a fast-paced, ambitious environment.

Qualifications

• Five years or more building React.js and Next.js (14+) in production, ideally on a SaaS product.
• Deep JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. Not framework deep, language deep.
• Real fluency with AI coding tools such as Cursor and Claude for writing, reviewing, refactoring and documenting code.
• Git, and a working command of CI/CD, TDD/BDD and Agile/Kanban delivery.
• A track record you can point at: something you owned end to end, where the outcome was materially better because you were the one holding it.
• The communication to disagree with a stakeholder, explain the trade-off, and be understood.

Responsibilities

• Lead, drive and own the front-end architecture of our platform rebuild: the structure, the patterns, the component system, the performance budget.
• Turn designs and wireframes into work you are prepared to put your name on.
• Set the standard for speed, scalability and responsiveness, and hold the line on it in review.
• Build the reusable libraries and patterns the rest of the team will work inside for the next five years.
• Raise the technical level of the engineers around you, through code review, pairing and example.
• Drive AI-assisted development across the team. We use Cursor and Claude seriously, not decoratively, and we invest in tooling and training.
• Work directly with product, delivery and stakeholders on what we build, not only on how.
