Are you passionate about building beautiful, responsive web applications that deliver real value to users? Do you thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and love turning complex problems into elegant solutions?

My client is seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer with deep expertise in React and experience working within AWS-based environments to help lead the development of high-performance, scalable user interfaces for a next-generation web platform. You’ll be joining a forward-thinking team of engineers and designers who are dedicated to building seamless digital experiences in a modern cloud-first stack.

What you’ll be doing:

• Collaborating with product managers, designers, and back-end teams to deliver impactful features in a cloud-native architecture.
• Integrating front-end components with AWS-hosted services such as API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito, S3, and CloudFront.
• Driving front-end best practices in performance, accessibility, and testing.
• Mentoring junior developers and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of front-end development experience, with significant hands-on work in React.
• Experience working with AWS services, especially those relevant to front-end integration (e.g., S3, CloudFront, Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda).
• Solid understanding of state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, or similar).
• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, or Cypress.
• A strong grasp of responsive design, performance optimisation, and user-centric UI/UX.
• Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.

Nice to have:

• Experience with server-side rendering frameworks like Next.js.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., AWS CDK, Terraform).
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, particularly those running in AWS environments.
• Understanding of accessibility standards and design systems.
• Build modern, cloud-native web apps from the ground up.
• Work with a team that values autonomy, innovation, and technical excellence.
• Enjoy a flexible work environment with opportunities for growth and leadership.
