Job summary

Phocas Christchurch is seeking a frontend engineer to help build and refine our dashboards product. You will collaborate with design and data teams to convert complex datasets into fast, clear interfaces that empower customers to act on their insights.

You’ll work with AI-driven features, think in systems, and engage directly with customers to understand what truly helps decision making. Strong React/TypeScript skills and a proactive, curious mindset are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong front-end skills, ideally React and TypeScript.
• Experience working with data, ideally building visualisations.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI and interest in building AI-powered features.
• Systems thinker mindset: you see the whole picture, not just the ticket in front of you.
• Self-starter energy: you spot the problem and start figuring out how to solve it.
• Confidence to back your ideas, and curiosity to keep questioning them.
• A finance or BI background is a genuine plus, but not essential.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve front-end features for our dashboards product, working closely with design and data teams.
• Use AI tools day to day to move faster, and help shape how AI-powered features show up in the product itself.
• Turn open-ended problems, like how best to visualise a given dataset, into elegant, working solutions.
• Think in systems: understand how a small change in one part of the product ripples through the rest.
• Work directly with customers to understand what actually helps them make decisions.
