Job description

Senior Frontend Engineer | React & TypeScript | Salary £70-80k | Hybrid (Surrey once a fortnight)

Would you like to build products that directly impact the daily lives of people across the entire UK? I’m working with a long-established Tech4Good organisation (20 years strong) that provides essential digital services to councils nationwide. They’re expanding their product range and are now looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to take ownership of frontend development across two new products.

You’ll be the React SME within the business – leading on frontend development best practices, mentoring other engineers, and helping to shape the company’s frontend strategy as they grow. You’ll work closely with their Product Managers, Designers, and Full Stack Engineers to deliver accessible, user‑centred, and visually engaging applications that make a tangible impact on society. You’ll also collaborate directly with their Product Designer to guide the design system and lead the development of a new component library that will underpin the next of their products.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Engineer who wants to take ownership, influence technical direction, and see the results of their work benefit millions across the UK.

What you’ll need

• Excellent commercial experience with React & TypeScript
• Comfortably be the React SME in an engineering team, leading on best practices & mentoring others to further develop their React capabilities
• Good understanding of modern frontend architecture and best practices
• Experience of working closely with a Designer, collaborating on design elements & building out a component library (experience with tools such as Storybook)
• Enjoy a collaborative environment where you can share your views with other members of the team and have open communication about the best way to proceed on projects
• Ideally you’ll have a background in a small team or business, where you are comfortable wearing multiple hats
• Experience of working on greenfield projects
• Excited about working on projects that have a positive social impact
• Any knowledge of backend engineering, AWS or CI/CD best practices would be a bonus
• Happy to travel to the Surrey office once a fortnight
