They want people who challenge ideas constructively, continuously look for improvements and have a genuine desire to help evolve products, systems and engineering practices.

• Experience working in fast-paced technology-led environments.
• Exposure to server-side rendering and performance optimisation.
• Experience working closely with UX/UI teams.
• Knowledge of testing frameworks and frontend best practices.
• Experience contributing to technical strategy and architectural discussions.

What You Get In Return:

• Salary of £65,000 - £75,000.
• Hybrid working (2 days per week onsite in Manchester City Centre).
• Modern technology stack.
• Strong engineering culture focused on continuous improvement.
